My Bride and I arrived home safely from our trip to England and Wales yesterday. We had a blast, but it's good to be home. I'll post a photo or two soon. I occasionally popped in on the 30DC thread while I was away, and it's moving along at an amazing pace!
While traveling, I used a Trac II razor since DE blades are not allowed in carry-on luggage. I swapped cartridges after three or four days, and they have been working great for me. My two-pass shaves are about as close with the Trac II as with a DE. I've used it both with Kiss My Face (applied brushless) and with a LaToja shave stick (face lathered with a brush). Using KMF brushless was mostly an experiment to see how it would work. However, it's more satisfying, for sure, to shave with a brush and soap, and it doesn't take much extra time.
I highly recommend LaToja shave soap. It makes a creamy, protective lather, and it's a steal at $5 per stick. I pressed what was left of my LaToja stick in a tin this morning, and I'll try to use it up over the next few days.
So, back to my normal DE shaves this morning. Two passes and a few touch-ups with the New SC, and I'm near BBS.
Happy early Father's Day to all the Dads here!
