today's shave hot water wash with nivea men's pur-tech synthetic Pyrate's cove lavender Matador Elegante Gillette blade(2) ICED Barbasol brisk today's shave went ok. my lather was a touch light. blade felt a bit harsh. maybe because of the lather. I managed three passes, little tender in the chin area. finished with a spray of wh/tea tree oil, then iced brisk.(that sounds more like a glass of tea than a shave finish) hope y'all did as well, or better.
Yesterday's shave with a closed comb new didn't feel as good as what I have been getting with either my long comb or slim adjustable. Last night I felt my face and the whiskers were definitely more pronounced than usual, so I went back to the slim adjustable this morning. French Soap Mix slim adjustable Ladas blade 3 passes and as smooth as I could hope for.

Still surprised how mild this razor is, as mentioned before, for me, maybe too mild. Will see how it goes with different blade setups.
