Another Shaving Journal

Very nice!

Very nice!

Yes, it was nice. And tomorrow I get to do it again.

Yea, I’d say the Vector is pretty much a modern AC injector, minus the injecting action, and the BBS lasts longer for me. I’ve had no problem using it daily so far, or with irritation, even though there’s been less stubble growth in some cases for the next day’s shave.

 

[Smattayu]

I remember the Sensor.

I remember the Sensor.

I had, in this order: Techmatic, Trac II, Atra, Sensor, Sensor 3, the Gillette 4 blade cart whose name I forget, and the Fusion. The Sensor was the best of the bunch for me.

Third shave with the Vector and it was the best yet. It takes less time to shave now: the AC blade sweeps up more whiskers per pass, and there is less touch-up required. BBS with less effort: that's a win-win if ever there was one.

Considering the cost, so am I! I kind of took a leap of faith on this one, but universal praise and the skinny head convinced me it was worth it.

Don, I forgot to congratulate you on LSU's win. That was quite a team.

Two days' growth mowed down in wide swaths. Digging this razor!

Cold day in the 'Burgh - low 20s and flurries. Looks like SF will get to the SB, oh well, go KC.
Had a big brunch at Orig PC House with son, then we saw 1917. Still digesting that movie. Good flick.

 

[GearNoir]

I also think 1917 was a good film, not in the usual entertainment way though for sure.

So the work week begins. Yesterday my wife and I met our oldest son at an incredible bakery near his home for a quick get-together. Very nice getting caught up, topped off with delicious treats. I brought a peanut butter/fudge cake to work this morning so co-workers could enjoy a holiday treat as well.

 

[dangerousdon]

I used Fine Fresh Vetiver today also. I guess we are scent twinsies!

I brought a peanut butter/fudge cake

Peanut Butter! Fudge! A!

My shaves are getting faster as I gain confidence in using the Vector. It is a remarkable tool. The doughnut hole in the soap has appeared, so I'm starting to consider which will be next up. I'm leaning to a CBL Tonsorial, to see how long it will last.
