MAYhem Monster cartridge free-for-all
4th shave (3x.5) on the Dollar Shave Club 6 blade +trimmer on trade from a co-worker testing a DE and an injector.
3rd half shave with my very dearly hated ex, the Mach3. Seriously, if you always do what you always did, you'll always get what you always got. And.....just for the MAYhem fun of things...... I think I'm getting a refresher on razor bumps. Bye Mach3, you loose.
AGAIN!
I did a repeat of yesterday's shave but went with Stirling Sheep. Even after dumping in a bunch of frost drops it still had a stank. Not as bad as the greasy, slimey Dr Carvers Shave Butter, but still. If this mutton tallow soap wasn't the best performing soap ever, I'd toss it.
Both carts delivered a one pass WTG SAS. For the DSC that's 'Socially Acceptable Shave'. For the dearly departed Mach3 that's 'Schmitty Asked Shave'.
Once again the Feather DX stepped up for a shave rescue. Just one ATG did the trick using a real soap instead of Dr Carvers Slime Butter. I think I could push this blade further, but won't. Fresh steel is in order for these rescues.
Yesterday, Chris got me wondering who actually makes the razors Dollar Shave Club sells. A little research points to Dorco who also sells presumably the same gear in numerous outlets at comparable pricing. Which is good to know if I want to ever get more stuff to play with but not join a ball & chain club.
I really botched up a true reveal on the gear my friend gave me to test by violating sound 30DC principles and introducing too many variables. So far, I still think that the 6 blade DSC/Dorco job is a reasonable, low cost method to get a 1 pass quick, down and dirty clean up if you had to use this stuff. If I was confined to a hospital bed, or a once a week head shaver like my friend, I could understand. Now, if I was single, and looking to not be, some social distancing from this kind of gear would be in order.
The Mach3 was just plain crummy from day 1. How did I ever use these things?
I'll probably continue a little more for some guage on longevity on the DSC, but it will remain 1 WTG w/cart, 1 ATG with a shavette. And, even though it is MAYhem, you just won't see me using a monster razor for ATG work.

Happy shaves gents. Remember those who gave all in this Memorial Day.
