Sunday DEcember 29th SOTN

Another wonderful shave tonight with the personna platinum / Yaqi DOC black tonight. No real pulling on the blade but did require extra jaw line buffing. I'll toss the blade at 6 and start fresh. Off to bed smooth and smelling great. Happy Shaves all.

My last 3 shaves have been with last years Stocking Stuffer...The Ming Shi 2000....I 've hardly used it since then...But it's a fantastic razor. And with Perma-Sharp Supers, it's really Great! Maybe my favorite Adjustable.

I'll try to finish this cream. The tube tap is broken and I won't bother changing the cream to a different container.
The Feather clone is fantastic. I started with a straight a few months ago and now this shavette and I am enjoying both so much.

You out of your mind?
A blue brush handle with a green soap handle?

At its second use, the blade was much sweeter and, probably also for the better mechanical qualities of the soap, it was a better shave than yesterday.

I do love that little shaving machine: highly efficient yet delicate!
