Great shave. First time I have shaved before showering in a long time. A nice hot shower with pre-shave makes a significant difference in feel.
Works great if I have a couple days of growth but I seem to struggle day after day shaving with it.

Great shave today. I have hd this plate on the shelf for quite a long time. It performed very well the open comb can be a bit aggressive but no issue this shave.
Winter is here.
The days are much shorter soon it will be dark for my drive to and from work. There are all of the normal work and chores just more difficult because of the snow and uncomfortable temperatures.
It’s not all bad winter does have some fun activities like snowmobiling and ice fishing. Hopefully just enough adventure to cary through to spring.
I have to go pick out a new book to read soon. Something that can get me through the too cold to do anything outside days.
Stay warm.

Excellent shave. New blade today worked great. I can’t remember what razor or why I disliked this blade in the past.

Ok shave. Looking at it now I seem to have some irritation. Shave felt smooth not really sure where my redness is coming from.

Great shave today. Menthol strong enough to make my eyes water just a bit, perfect start to the day.
