Today I decide to give the Assured DE razor, gifted to me by Joe,
@Trigger, at last weeks LI 30DC Chapter meetup. This is the second Dollar Tree razor I have in my den. The Assured will reside in the Southern Den while my original Dollar Tree razor while be in the Northern Den for availability when traveling.
The Assured razor is a three piece razor at $1.36 price point while the Original Dollar Tree is a Twist to Open (TTO) at $1.99.
On to the shave. I did my usual three passes. The razor with the GSB blade on it’s second use. The resulting shave was as close to BBS without testing with a cotton. The alum report was almost nonexistent. However, I did develop a delayed weeper about 5 minutes after the post shave routine was completed.
The soap is on it’s death throes. At most, I will have three shave left which means the Edmund Fitzgerald will arrive Monday at the latest.
Currently, Anthony is digging for Sharks teeth at Venice beach.
Another warm day in the sun. Hope all of you find a nice place to stay cool.
