Woke up late this morning...

Oh well, live to shave another day

:sad023

 

I was in a bit of a rush today, so I decided to use the Sensor for the first time since switching to wet shaving.

Gillette sensor
C&E Best Badger
MB's Spiced Apple cider
alum
TOBS Bay Rum A/S
Burts Bees Bay Rum ASB

I know now why I use a DE. The sensor felt like it was tugging the whole time, even though the lather was as slick as it could be, and I did good prep. The shave was a little faster, but not anywhere as close or satisfying.
