Monday 3/24 Shave
FIXED FOUR FOR MARCH MADNESS Day 24
Same Razor/Blade/Brush/Soap All Month

So after 24 Days of SSDD how do you energize your shave
Throw a BOWL into the mix for a change
I'm cutting down to two passes to extend blade life
I think we can take this blade to the end of the challenge
Doing a modified WTG/ATG and then XTG Clean Ups
Overall an Acceptable DFS Shave
