Week 3 (Comfort Week)
Feb. 16--
Episode 16: “Crud!”
Ever Ready 1912
One of the razors I subconsciously think of as a "comfort razor." I tend to get pleasant shaves out of the 1912 (if I manage to only stack one blade in it--which I did)...

The Shave
My 2+ passes went fairly well up until the '+' part of the shave. Must have got a little careless in my buffing. My shave was all but finished; I had just done a cold water rinse when I noticed a tiny red mark that looked like a blemish. Just to be certain, I dabbed at it with some tissue, and sure enough... blood. Barely. It was the most bloodless blood I've ever seen, but it was definitely blood. Shave was already over, but the score is 0. Crud!
The Score
Comfort: 0--too bad, because this would have been a '4' at the very least.
Closeness: 0--This was a surprisingly close shave for 2+. Right between BBS and DFS; it would have got a 4.

Tsuka
The burn was pretty significant this morning. I also noticed a bit of redness. I don't know if it was from the shave, or the AS, but considering that my irritation from yesterday's shave grew and grew as the day wore on, I'm looking in Tuska's direction. I don't know if it will survive this week--I have mixed feelings about that. Today is one of those days where I am enjoying the scent.
Everyone enjoy the rest of your Sunday! For those of you on the other side of the world, hope your weekend was pleasant and relaxing. I will catch up with you Monday
