I actually thought about NOT shaving today. I know... how ridiculous a thought, right? Keeping up with this thread is akin to running a marathon.
But it was reading everyone's posts which encouraged me to get 'er done.
I dialed the Futur Clone to #2.5 for this shave and this blade was on it's 6th use. It still feels mild to me, but even though it doesn't feel like it's cutting stubble... and I'm not really hearing any audible sound of stubble-cutting... it's cutting it down! I got a close, comfortable shave. I keep rubbing my face to make sure and it feels great.
This was the second time I've used a Stirling soap, and this was my first use of the Autumn Glory sample (again thanks to
@SmokeShowing for your PIF). I really like this scent. I don't know how to describe scents, but I like this one a lot. Felt good on the face... overall I give it a big thumbs up...


I trust everyone is having a great week of shaves, and a great week overall!
