It’s been a rough week in the Gulch household. On Tuesday, I attempted to shave with my new B&M Sinfonia soap and the Azuma Kamisori. I had been looking forward to trying this scent, because I really like jasmine. I smelled it when I first opened it on Monday, and it was great, but I didn’t get the normal subtle mix of scents B&M usually gives me. When I shaved on Tuesday, I couldn’t smell a thing. Was a little shaky from the flu, but I figured what was the worst that could happen with a razor my wife refers to as my prison shiv. Did my cheeks, and my hands were shaking. The razor was also pulling, and I couldn’t find the right angle. I actually followed
@Keithmax advice, and put the razor down. I grabbed my trusty G1 injector, finished one pass to get four days of whiskers off, and called it done.
Last night, I grabbed my 12k stone and did a bit of a touch up on the kami. This morning I wasn’t as shaky as I had been. I stropped up the Azuma, and went to work. I got the edge quite a bit better, but not all the way there. I did a N/S and a S/N pass, then a cleanup XTG with the G1 razor. I actually smelled a lot of subtle note in the Sinfonia, and enjoyed the shave. Overall, a DFS with zero irritation. I will work on the edge a little more before my next shave.
