    I thought I'd go citrus on such a nice sunny day.
    Happy Shaving one and all.

    Shulton Old Spice After Shave

    My first time using this razor, and for some reason, it really didn't go that well. I used a fresh blade, and I know that wasn't the problem as I always get great shaves from them. My Canadian Schick E produces better shaves than this one, actually, all my others will also. While feeling pretty aggressive, after two passes I still have stubble on my face, almost equal to a days growth with other razors, injector, DE, SE and AC included. And upon close examination, I don't see anything wrong with it. I decided not to do any touch up as I felt it wouldn't help and might actually cause more irritation. This E will most likely be used for display purposes only, unless I decide to get rid of it.

    I just went and checked and it is slightly darker in real life but not by much.
    It's a touch darker than AV.

    Oh ok.....now I should compare HIS to that of AV, but they're getting ready to move, so I won't get to for a while.

    Today's shave was very nice.

    Today's shave was so nice, I thought I'd share. The Dropper is soo good, the scent and performance are top notch. I've been examining a brush technique I'm calling a Dab, maybe more precise is a blot. And it's almost self explaining. It seems to build a thicker lather. Especially when used in conjunction with swirls and paint strokes. The G37 is as aggressive as one could possibly want. As if I could feel the blade thoughout my three passes. The mr5 works with most razors, and only improves their performance. Finished with matching aftershave and light blue.
    Let em' drop. (The last bit, just for my girl) lol
    Hope y'all did as well, or better. 20190515_163612_resized.jpg

    I love the scent but you won't like the fact that it has no legs.
    An hour, hour and a half at the most.

    Very good shave today. I have to apologies as I pretty much stole @clint64 Clint picture. I did use different tools though. Sorry Clint, just didn't have an original thought. :)
    The Personna blade is starting to tug a bit. We'll have to see if I can get another shave out of it.

    I guess you'd need a re-do for evening events, eh?
