    Terrific Tuesday shave Gary! I have never tried the Balzano blades, but I have heard they are very sharp. Enjoy your day.

    May 9 SOTA

    Good afternoon

    Shavette Shave #452
    Parker SRB
    Laser 1/2 DE Blade (4)
    Barbury Synthetic Brush
    MMOC (dome shave)
    DayLogic SE Blade (fresh)
    Arko SS
    Pinaud-Clubman Classic AS
    Stirling Alum Block
    Beard Growth: 23 hrs
    Dome Turf: 3 days

    I decided to do a head and face shave this afternoon and got into a little Mayhem May. I will explain lather. I wanted a slick and easy lather so I chose Arko because I know with a 3 day Dome Turf that I would need a super slick lather. Here is my bowl lather:

    20230509_154601.jpg

    Did a 2 pass plus neck touchup for an error-free and just shy of a BBS result.
    Did my usual 3 pass headshave that was cueball smooth without any bloodshed. The May Mayhem for me was that I never used a fresh blade in my MMOC for a headshave. I was a little more cautious, but honestly it was smooth sailing.

    The alum feedback slight on my neck, but surprisingly, there wasn't any on my dome. I was expecting some feedback on my dome, but I am not going to argue with the result.
    Double-splashed the Pinaud-Clubman Classic aftershave and there wasn't any burning sensation whatsoever. I would say this was one of my best above-the-shoulder shaves. Take care guys!

    Hee-hee, yes they sure would be:happy097:
    That's what I first thought when I saw that beast, that's not a razor that's a cleaver! (Reminds me of Crocodile Dundee "that's not a knife, that's a knife")

    I would be donning my chain-mail butchers gloves before taking that anywhere near my face!
