Day 10 and another fabulous shave. This blade shows no signs of degradation at this point and feels great so my face is very very happy again. The Tally-Ho cologne is a find I was lucky enough to get last summer. Nice scent and my bride likes it. Now go enjoy your day folks.

Razor: Focus Dynamic
Blade: Personna Comfort Coated (3)
Pre Shave: DIY
Brush: VDH Badger
Lather: Proraso Red
AS: Mennen afta

I`m not sure how to explain this, but I`ll try. The Focus razor is built for a 1/2 DE blade, it has a pivot head, and made in Italy. At first the correct angle was almost impossible (at least for me) to achieve. It kept changing on me. After a complete and difficult WTG pass, I was beginning to get the hang of it. The thoughts of going ATG was a little scary, but what the heck, a journey starts with one step. Ripley`s believe it or not, the upside down angle must have caused the head to fall into the correct position and was much smoother. I have a learning curve to go through. A lot of irritation, but cold water and a hand fan cooled everything down pretty good. I`ll keep at it until I get it right. I DO have a very good shave, everything is smooth and close. Well pleased, God Bless.

I decided to put my criticisms of the Game Changer to the test this morning by comparing it against the Mamba. Immediately I could tell a difference, the Mamba was smoother, the angle was more intuitive and it just felt better against the skin. Sure the Game Changer has more blade feel then the Mamba but the Mamba is just as efficient and after three passes I had no need for touch-up. I finished off with the Baxter duo for my daily dose of menthol. Have a great weekend and Father's day everyone!
