Shower or Shave (SoS) July 16th - 22nd

I'll surely keep y'all updated on my progress with the visionary futur (see, it's possible to include all three of 'em in a sentence :rofl )
I tried a setting of 2,5 today and will lower it to 2 tomorrow.

 

oooooo...good one. :rofl

 

At least somebody listens to me.

Post Shave
Aftershave: Pinaud Clubman Musk Aftershave - Won't need a cologne this morning.
Aftershave Balm: Nivea Extra Soothing Sensitve Skin Balm

Result: 4.5/5.0 Day two with the IP (Israeli Persona) blade and the 12C Merkur Open Comb Razor was better. Still a little hesitant but I was confident enough to do full cheek glides like I can do with my other razors. I put some of the Pinaud Musk on the dog last night. He smelled much better after that. My daughter even noticed and wanted me to put some on her. :roflI won't be using cologne until this afternoon though. Don't need it. Decent shave all the way around.
