No Repeat November/Menthol Monday

Good morning!

Terrific shave to start the day! Three passes for near BBS. I did have a hot spot on my neck from the alum.

A whole bunch of menthol going on this morning! Quite the wake up!

Have a great week!

 

I didn't think anyone could GLOw during their shave. Colorado Chill shave, Jim!

 

Good Monday morning to everyone, here in the states we celebrate veterans day.
More important to me than most other hollidays, thank you for your service. A shout out to all active duty men and women in the armed services!
No, I'm not a veteran, to many illnesses to get in, even in my younger days.
Thanks again!
This morning's shave was a surprise, really! Loaded a Derby Premium blade and went to work. First pass was a little resistance, nothing bad, nothing worse than just a little firmness. The second pass was really good, no resistance hardly at all. Third fuzzy style clean up pass was just needed, got me where I like to be.
The head shave, this is where some of the blades fail to make it where it counts. First pass, wow, ok, that went extremely well, light and smooth. Second pass the blade started to wane in sharpness, not bad, but the resistance got higher, still no pulling yet. The third fuzzy style clean up pass was needed, but just like most good blades at this point, it was still sharp enough to finish the job.
I'm not as smooth as I would be with a blade I like, but I'm not bad. No irritating stuff going on here, that's always nice.
I'd give this blade a firm 8.5 on the Feather scale. 10 being a Feather, 1 being an unusable blade.

If all I had was these blades, I would use them, no problem. I would prefer sharper blades, but these woud work fine.
A side note.... I've been using my Monobit for this month's morning shave. I have had NO cuts, nicks, burns, scrapes or any of that nasty stuff. Matter of fact my skin feels great. This is what I expected from this razor, I have not been disappointed!
Everything else worked as expected.
All
Enjoy your day

Thank you, James.

Thanks, Perry. Meanwhile...

Thanks, Clint and +1 on the soap request. I guess I need to add blades...post-shave products...mmmmm....yup, I don't need anything shave related.

Thank you, Joe.

 

You're a real "heartbreaker", Gary.

 

Arigatō

 

Thanks, Jason. Last night I pressed the remaining soap back to the center of the bowl.

 

Thanks, Danny.

 

Thank you, Blair.

 

Beautiful shave and photo Jim.

 

Excellent shave report and photo Terry. Happy Monday.

 

I JUST showed Dr. Mrs. Primo this picture and asked her if she though I had more or less shave gear. Answer: "About the same".

 

Excellent shaves, gents!
