Chased the baby last night, and I caught him with my $5 eBay razor that I took to shave ready myself. Today was a good shave.

 

Tabacstag
This shave was not as smooth as usual. It might be that the Personna blade I started with is a dud, and dulled after only two uses. I switched to a Voskhod for the last pass. No weepers or significant burning, but just not as pleasant this time. I did not use any pre shave oil, perhaps I have become accustomed to it just missed it today. The HIS Lather Monster made excellent überlather from Tabac cream and soap, which the Fatboy used to demolish my stubble. I finished up with Mint Zinger because it really does help calm my skin and I did not feel like an alcohol or menthol slap today. Shea Moisture balm rounded out this shave right and my skin feels great.

It's Tuesday so a day off shave with the Feather this month. Took my time getting everything ready, got some extra soak time on the brush and the puck of MWF and settled in for what I hoped would be a great shave with the Feather. Seems like I dialed the Fat in perfectly today. While loading the brush I was already producing tons of lather so that was great. The face lather was like watching lather explode out of the brush. Nice nice nice. Grabbed the Feather and eased into the right side WTG pass. Felt great and did a great job on the face and neck. Changed grip for the left side and it also went about as well as it ever has. The Japanese style is coming along, if slowly. Worked close to the goatee line and rinsed, relathered and reset. XTG this time and on the right side it was pretty nice. One of my better efforts. The stroke is chin to ear on the right side so the start is a bit tricky sometimes. Finished it and went chin to ear on the neck as well, almost a Gillette slide angle without the sliding involved. No, I'm not crazy. Switched to the left, going ear to chin and that is also a bit tricky to start. Tricky enough that I got a very minor cut as the blade dragged just a bit from too much angle at first. Wrong set down, basically. Worked that into the goatee line well then went ear to chin on the neck. Third pass, mainly neck only for some tough up and I have a very nice DFS in two and a half. I also have a slightly off goatee as my work into the left edge took a bit too much off near my mouth. The left side line is a bit thinner than the right now. Glad I didn't go ahead and make one more pull into it or I'd have to be redoing the entire goatee!

Overall a nice shave for a Tuesday and other than the minor cut and a couple of very small nicks against the left goatee at chin level it's all good. Happy Tuesday!

This was a really great shave. I do love me some Gillette blades. The soap is a really interesting sandalwood/vanilla scent and I feel that it was a pretty decent soap. I may look into more from these guys.
