Maiden voyage with a Hydrolast shave. I gotta tell ya -- a couple of firsts:

Today was the first time I actually dropped my razor while using it, because of how slick the Hydrolast mix is. I couldn't believe it. SPLASH right into the sink full of water.

Today was the first time I was BBS on my neck using a DE. Didn't need the Mach 3 pass to get that close on my neck. ZERO irritation. Quite simply, amazing.

Now, after about 30 minutes, my face and neck feel a bit dry/tight. I think I might add some additional moisturizer before heading out. Guess I went too heavy on the soap and it must have dried out my skin a bit. That Hydrolast Sandalwood/Citrus tonic is some GREAT smelling stuff!!

 

Great report.

Now I must come up with he 500 dollar down payment.

Gillette Slim Adjustable

I dont really like the Treet Platinum blades, they remind me of the feather - maybe not in sharpness but in the ability to inflict quite a few nicks out of nowhere.. No - to the bin with them..

My Vindaloo inspired you to use the Treets? I threw away my Treet blues, I have yet to try the Platinums...

this is my first shave with an aristocrat - not bad...a few rough spots but in general a fine shave. i think it's a bit more aggressive than the merkur.
