In honour of Fuzzy
@wchnu dropping back in to visit, I decided to shave tonight with an SE razor. One I got from him in fact as a prize in the TSD Raffle. (Ticket sales for the current Raffle end in about an hour...)
I then decided to make the shave a "30DC" event: The razor was from
@wchnu, the brush is the 30DC LE version made by Jason
@jtspartan, the soap was a recent gift from Adam
@Drygulch, and the Florida Water I acquired after seeing lots of the Crew using it and paired it with the Key Lime based on suggestions from this thread.
I haven't used a Gem-style SE since September so I approached it a bit gingerly. However, two careful passes later and I have a BBS without any blood. The alum was a bit warm in a couple places, but I think that's partly because the Gem PTFE blades are smoother on the second and subsequent shaves.
Hope everyone is having a great weekend.
