Another Shaving Journal

[GearNoir]

Thanks for being the guinea pig Bruce! No need to invest in trying Kai blades, got it!

No need to invest in trying Kai blades, got it!

I think there are two more Kai's in the sampler. Maybe the others will work for me. We'll see.

 

[Smattayu]

I've got the Kai Titan Milds, and it seems like I can get one, maybe two decent shaves from them. They are a little too mild for me.

 

[Graybeard57]

They are a little too mild for me.

That's my take on them, too. Maybe they'd be good in a shavette.

• CBL-T Sir Fougere
• Maggard 24mm tuxedo synthetic
• Blackland Vector/Kai Captain Original (#1)
• Fine Fresh Vetiver

Originals are sharper than the milds. I must have leaned into the razor this morning, as I have widespread irritation. Not a good first outing for the blade, but I'm responsible for that. I'll heal before tomorrow night's shave. Have a great Saturday, Cadre.

Some kids just need to prove things for themselves. You let us know when you decide the Schick is the best blade for the Vector.

 

[Dave in KY]

Don't mind these kids Bruce, you may find one that is better for you

 

[GearNoir]

Oh no! Shave nirvana streak broken! Hope the irritation clears up quickly!

Third shave with the soap.

 

[Patelliott]

That is a really nice looking razor!

 

[Graybeard57]

That is a really nice looking razor!

I agree. It is well balanced, too.

Some kids just need to prove things for themselves. You let us know when you decide the Schick is the best blade for the Vector.

The Schick may win, but I'm going through the sampler regardless. Just have got to be more careful than this morning.

Don't mind these kids Bruce, you may find one that is better for you

We shall see.

Oh no! Shave nirvana streak broken! Hope the irritation clears up quickly!

No broken streaks. I'll shave tomorrow, probably at halftime.

All caught up Bruce. Glad you’re enjoying the Vector. I may be developing a mild case of RAD though...

• CBL-T Sir Fougere (4)
• Maggard 24mm tuxedo synthetic
• Blackland Vector/Kai Captain Original (#2)
• Fine Fresh Vetiver

Better shave than yesterday, with a little irritation. Kai blades aren't working as well as the Schick. Science marches on.

 

[Graybeard57]

• CBL-T Sir Fougere (5)
• Maggard 24mm tuxedo synthetic
• Blackland Vector/Kai Captain Original (3)
• Fine Fresh Vetiver

Opted to not shave ATG on the irritated areas. Went well, but seems incomplete. We'll see how it is by the end of tomorrow's work day.

 

[Graybeard57]

Had an appointment with my PCP this morning. Routine followup. I have a clean bill of health, and a happy doctor. My gait continues to improve as my legs grow stronger. She commented that if she hadn't first seen me in a wheelchair 1+ years ago, she never would have suspected I needed one back then. Life is good, Cadre!

 

[Patelliott]

Awesome!

 

[GearNoir]

Great report Bruce!

 

[SteveChuckFrank]

Great to hear Bruce! Keep it up!

 

[MaineYooper]

That's great!
