Second day of my OCMM Rule and it's a bit of an early shave for me. I have an early Doctor appointment tomorrow so trying to get some extra sleep time. We'll see how it goes.
The Stirling soap of the day is Executive Man. I've never used this one though I have used the bath soap in this scent. Decided I could match it up with the shave soap too. The Stirling Pro Style had no difficulty in loading and providing a nice slick lather. Excellent stuff.
I'm finding the carbon blade with this razor less than smooth, or maybe I should say less smooth than I expected. I've used carbons in DE razors and I know they aren't as smooth as stainless in most cases, but this one seems a bit less smooth than even DE carbons. I suspect it's because it's a thicker blade since it's SE. It's not a problem, really, just a surprise when I first start. It's something I'll get used to. The stainless Gem blade is certainly a smoother blade but also sharper and, therefore, a bit more of a risk in this razor. Besides, Fuzzy uses carbon blades and I want to shave like the cool kids.
Two passes and some touch ups and I was happy to find a DFS waiting for me. The alum was definitely warm on the neck but nothing horrible and there was, again, no blood. So far I'd say things are progressing well with this Rule.
Great to see some great favorites out there so far! Looks like a great month already well underway!
