    Last evening's shave featured:
    • Gillette birth year and quarter 1973 (T-4) aluminum Tech
    • Fresh Parker Premium Platinum DE blade
    • Art of Shaving Gillette badger Power Brush - they called it oscillating, I call it vibrating
    • dalan d'men Shaving Cream, Sensitive
    • 7" Japanese suribachi bowl

    First time using one of these Gillette aluminum Tech razors... Just wanted to use something different. This lightweight razor really sings as it plows through the hair. I love a razor that sings!

    I always use one of my "sensitive" shaving creams when using any razor for the first time, and dalan d'men is my favorite sensitive cream. It's probably all in my head but I will take the chance of turning a bad shave into a decent one by using a sensitive cream. Plus, this is a fine cream even when using with an aggressive razor such as my 2011 MÜHLE R41. And I absolutely love the scent of the dalan d'men Sensitive.

    Really also enjoying the Parker Premium Platinum blades. Still much thanks to Dale @PanChango for PIFing me a sleeve a couple of months ago when I was just looking for a couple to try out. Consistently get 8 to 10 shaves out of a single blade, of course knowing when it's time for a fresh one from that 8th to 10th.

    The AoS Gillette Power Brush is actually a pretty decent brush knot-wise, but the vibrating is definitely unnecessary. If it had been a rotating knot, that would have been nice and useful. Just vibrating, does nothing to build up a better lather or raise the hairs. It didn't shed a single hair which was unexpected considering AoS brushes have that reputation. All said, I'm going to put this back in its original box and stick it in the collection display cabinet.

    Final result: DFS, no blood drawn, no razor burn, etc.
