Well, what can I say about the @
Mr. Freeze93 no mercy shave? How about one of the worst I've ever experienced. This blade is harsh, tuggy, nasty and just all around horrible on a good day. This was its second use, which I've never done, and in an unforgiving beast of a razor. Oh, and using Marvy soap. Yeah, so let's say that the fact I finished two passes should get me a medal of honor.
Absolutely harsh and scraping feeling and it created a number of weepers along my neckline. In fact, my neck was so rough and irritated that as I started sweating in the heat of sales today, my collar (I wear a tie) was actually rubbing my neck even more raw. I had to splash cold water on it to cool it down a couple of times.
The result? Maybe CCS. Honestly the worst I've actually accepted but my good looks overcame that. At least I have that going for me.
Time to eat dinner. I'll be back in a bit with the setup for tomorrow. Hope you all had a good Sunday and a better shave than I did. Although rubbing your beard off on the bark of an oak tree would be better.
