May 2015 30 Day Rule/Focus Pic-Discussion Thread

YMMV.

 

June thread is here: http://theshaveden.com/forums/threa...ic-discussion-thread.45265/page-2#post-841237

 

Crazy Sunday for me, did not get to post. I went ahead and just used the same setup for another great shave. This month was one of our best all year. It was great to see everyone having a blast, and especially great to see all the newer guys join up!

Mayhem was great... Time for Williams now! See everyone on the June thread!

 

first off, yes, i realize this is the MAY thread, and i realize we are in the middle of JUNE. i simply must, however, put a wrap on my May blade focus ... for some closure and completeness.

my April and May individual blade trials culminated in the latter half of the month with the Final Four: astraSP, crystal, voskhod, and wilkinson sword ... for an end-of-month and spillage-into-June showdown.

when it comes right down to it, there are probably a 1/2 dozen blades that have worked very nicely with my EJ89 on my face. the differences are small.

but the winner of these trials is: CRYSTAL ... with astraSP second and voskhod a very close third.

incidentally, one of my sons who also recently started wet shaving found that israeli reds are his fav. he didn't have any crystals in his trial, and the reds performed VERY well for me except for the post-shave splotches. so, we've ordered some of each. he's gonna try the crystals, and i'm gonna try the reds again.

now back to our regularly-scheduled program ... June focus ...
