Back to the Viking's Sword today and an extra shave to test low aggression on the blade. After yesterday's barely DFS I decided to see if an extra click on the Slim would make a difference. We know it does on the Personna Red and Generic but how about on this one? The BoS and Arko for a stunning lather and off we go.
First pass did sound a bit louder than yesterday so I suspect it's doing a bit more work. However, at the end of the pass the feel wasn't significantly different. Still lots to do. Second pass, XTG and a third pass ATG and Slide. Noticed a little redness on my neck that wasn't there after yesterday. I know my technique was good. So maybe it's something maybe it's not.
Alum proved that something was indeed up. Neck was pretty hot all over so apparently the extra gap created some irritation. As for the finish? DFS. Better than yesterday but not so much better that I think it was worth the irritation. An interesting result since I haven't really compared blades on 2 and 3 on consecutive days before. Tomorrow I'll go 6 and we'll see if it takes off like the rest of its cousins.
On another note today was head shave time and I had a new Astra loaded up. Definitely noticed how much better that fresh blade did over last week's blade on its third shave. I normally go three shaves with it but think I may stop at two now. I mean, come on, I only do head shaves once a week. Using a blade twice means I'd use 26 blades a year. I have almost 200. I'm good for awhile so why not get a better experience overall, right?
Another day closer to the 31st and today, a costume idea for the special lady in your life. Again, thanks to Mother Russia.

Before you ask.....NO, the girl does NOT come with the costume.
