The Shave...
Another 2 pass shave for the books today. 1st pass (WTG) was all quiet on the facial front (neck too, I guess).
Pass 2 was mostly XTG this time round and turned out decent enough; I ain’t going anywhere. The set down from two days ago caught up with me again, but disappeared before the pass was finished.
The results were definitely closer to CCS than DFS; however, no irritation at all, and that is what I’m after on the weekdays--look good, feel great!
Some remarkable things happened this month. First and foremost, one month of shavette shaves without any serious mishaps or disfigurement. I attribute much of this to the design of the Focus R21 shavette. I’ll test this out in May when I do a few shaves with the Utopia Care shavette (designed, I’m fairly certain, to slice its users). Second, on the last day of the focus, I managed to bottom out my stick of Soap Commander “Drive”....

...Alas, poor SC Drive! I knew him, Horatio…. A stick of infinite shaves--where be your shaves now?
A thought: ‘Tuesday’ and ‘Terrific’ both start with the letter ‘T’... coincidence? I think not!
29 down, 71 to go!
