Another shave week, another blade audition! This week it's GEM Blue Stars.
This morning I used one of my favorite Sunday soap/creams,
the Cella. JR#161 did it's usual outstanding job whipping up a slick, fragrant lathering that could've gone four or five passes. However, it only took 2.5 and a little neck touchup to accomplish a near BBS shave. The Blue Star did a very nice job. The face feel while shaving was very smooth. I don't get too excited about Sunday performance, 'cause pretty much all blades do well on a two day growth. The workweek shaves are what separate the contenders from the pretenders.
Splashed on some Cella A/S and the day commences.
