    Tuesday:

    Omega Wooden Handle
    Super Speed/7 AM day 4
    Brut SC :happy088:
    Keri unscented moisturizer
    Brut AS
    Brut Cologne

    My first shave this morning with the Brut cream which arrived yesterday, and it was a good one. Needless to say, the cream has a very Brut scent which lingers after the shave, and the lather is very rich and good. It also seems to be helpful for tender skin. So far, I'm impressed! ;):biggrin:

    The lime text is tough to read...

    10 shaves from a Rapira is impressive. What is the most you have been able to manage with the blade.

    Thanks! I may change the lime text! This is my 1st experinence with these blades. I've been an injector dude for a while now. Thought I would try them out. Read alot about them. I am amazed myself! I really love these blades. Mind you , I like mild blades & razors! But 2 passes with these and their longevity, makes my Red Pack Personnas & Schick Twin Injectors blades look outdone!
