    Meta4/Kai (1)/MDC. Third shave with the new PAA razor and I'm not liking it much. No blade feel and awfully mild, and I can't help but compare it to the delightful Prismatic which it shaves like not a bit. I thought the wee additional exposure offered by the Kai blade might help but not much. Halfway through my head shave I popped the Kai in the Shake Sharp and smiled again at a shave well done.[​IMG]

    Yeah, it's a pretty unassuming knot until you use it.

    Last shave with this blade. It is starting to fade finally. BBS finish but barely unlike with earlier shaves. If I had gotten one of these razors when I first got into wet shaving it probably would have saved me some serious money since it works well enough I could use this daily with no complaints, but I didn't and it is getting retired for awhile to use other razors.

    2021-04-07. wednesday

    The first quarter is gone and also a quarter of this month: soon it will be Christmas....
    After yesterday afternoon's wind, the temperature drop has stabilized: this morning below zero, but a strong sun: always makes me think of the Dolomites...

    I had vague ideas of using an almond scented soap, then, at the redde rationem, I opted for a lavender that I find suitable for this climate.
    And I was well pleased!

    Despite an affection for this razor, it doesn't make my top 10 list, but it did its job in a fitting way.
