It's the @
PLAla second round shave! Seems like it was about three days ago thanks to a very busy day. This weekend is just going to get crazier so my presence here may be sporadic but I'll stay up with you all as best I can. Hope your plans include going to your local Mattress Firm and buying a new Tempur-Pedic bed for yourself too! Or, just call me. I'll do the rest. Ok, shameless plug done.
Not much to say about this shave except ouch. Not the worst by far, but I was glad to finish it up. The Shark blade probably shouldn't go four shaves. Well, to be honest, it shouldn't go at all with me. Can it produce a decent shave? Yes, especially when new. Is it comfortable to use? Not really, but again, there are worse. Far worse. Right @
Mr. Freeze93 ? As uncomfortable and rough as this blade gets it still looks like a Voskhod compared to the Tiger.
The razor, of course, didn't help. That Soviet engineering is just amazing...........amazingly bad. This razor looks like it would do a good job but, alas, it just isn't that high enough quality. It's better than any other Soviet DE I've used, but that isn't saying much. Add the tired and rough Shark to this blade and just shave as fast as you can to get it over with.
I say that too, because Marvy was the soap. Now, the horse brush is pretty floppy and actually works pretty well with the Marvy. I would have to say that if I was to use Marvy as my regular soap (when I go completely senile) this would be the brush to use. It actually allows a pretty good lather to form and you have a bit more time before it fades completely away. I have also always thought that Marvy has pretty good slickness, it just doesn't last long and when it goes it leaves a dusty trail of dryness.
The best part of this shave? When the alum cooled down from the roughness of it and the Veg took over with all its yummy goodness. And.....the Mighty Veg led to my best day of sales in a month! Just in time to start the biggest sale of the year for the company. There will be a LOT of Veg for me the next four days.
With that rough and uncomfortable shave done it's time to look ahead to tomorrow and the @
Joe Babb second round. I'll get back to you on that. random.org is currently down so I'm still waiting to see what we end up with. In the meantime it's time to holler for @
Linuxguile to choose for Saturday! Give me those numbers!!
