Third Day of TabOKtoberfest
I switched the razor, but kept the rest of the setup as yesterday. Aside from being glorious in its own right, using the Stank Trinity® daily will let me concentrate on the O(ffene)K(linge) part of TabOKtoberfest and appreciate my open blade hardware for a month.
This Böker is the most recent addition to my den, and this is my 16th shave with it. It has a scary looking spike point that poked me once in the cheek when I didn't pay attention, but I've started appreciating that feature when clearing the moustache just under the nostrils WTG. This design lets me do that while making a 27% less funny face than other razors in this size range (6/8") because I don't need to get my nose out of the way as much.
Clearly you need to refresh that edge! [A voice faintly rising from way down that rabbit hole :)]
Lol, yes, clearly!
27% is pretty substantial!
I thought so too! Well worth 100% more cheek stabbings 😂
