    Nice Joe. Thanks for deciding I should continue to use my Partner Variant this month. I couldn't decide.

    Setup: same as yesterday:

    <24 hrs early pre work shave
    TOBS tobacco leaf, Semogue OC, Timeless bowl all worked beautifully well together, dipping the brush back into the Tub for the touch ups
    Gillette Red B4 with Treet (1), last one in this tuck
    2 passes and liberal touch ups
    Usual pre and post: Alum provided some feedback
    No damage which is a plus
    Scent: Guerlain pour homme
    Shave was a bit edgy, as it usually is on 1 day growth
    Overall clean shaven, just the usual stubborn stubble right side of neck: still need to work out a strategy here…
    The Gillette Red and Treet did not feel as smooth as I remember let’s say the Rocket HD with Gillette blades: one way to find out would be to do side by side comparison: project for another day
    Always interesting to me that the shave turns out to feel smoother after the Alum/Thayers/ASL/ASB have been applied

    Much better shave this morning, with the same as yesterday. I ran the Gillette Foamy under the tap again to warm up the foam. I ended up using less of it than yesterday, but enough to do the shave. Really nice all around. South Porcupine(chin)and Cactus(neck) were the areas of most challenge. I wanted to do well down at the neck, and was pleased with the result, moving the razor in various directions. South to North up the middle, and a few across tue grain efforts. I could have done bettter just above the Ingrown Hair areas. Zero cuts, Knicks, and Polka-Dots. Very happy for a goo shave. Super Duper Outstanding.
