Warmed up to the low 50s today, feels balmy. Great shave today.

@Graybeard57, my apologies if that really was footage of your post-shave celebration dance.

Finished off the work week with a good shave. I'm cleanshaven and ready to go...
...on vacation next week. Yes, I have next week off and I intend to enjoy the free time. Have a great day, Cadre!

 

[GearNoir]

Woohoo! Vaycay!

 

[NurseDave]

Is fresh vetiver your AS or soap?

 

[woodpusher]

Vacation is good! Going anywhere or just sticking around the house?

Is fresh vetiver your AS or soap?

AS. The soap has mainly a leather and lavender scent, but it changes slightly shave to shave.

Vacation is good! Going anywhere or just sticking around the house?

Not going anywhere, just sleeping in a little and getting stuff done around the home.

Great shave today as I start my vacation. Nothing on the agenda for today.

Last shave for this blade. It did well, but was a little tuggy. I don't like tuggy.

 

[GearNoir]

At least you won the shave!

Indeed. Fresh blade tomorrow. The soap is nearing its end, so I'm going to have to choose another one. I'll probably go with something from @LNHC . I may use her older formula (got a few), followed by her newest formula (got a couple).

Good call. I can't speak to those single edge blades, but with DEs, they're too cheap to stay with a blade when it's clearly lost its mojo. Bin it and move along. [emoji106]

The blade will tell you when it's done, don't argue with it or it will hurt you.

SE blades are thicker, and last longer than DE. I've tried to push them beyond 10 shaves, but have regretted it in the past. Some people get 15 shaves out of them, but I can't.

Oh, I don't argue. The irritation from dull blades isn't worth it.

Noontime shave for me today - wanted to get it out of the way early . Excellent shave, the postshave elixir soaked right up and feels wonderful.

Trying to get all caught up Bruce Looked like a great shave!
