The Shootout of the Titans Continues:

Trying this software with a variety of Razors and Brushes to see if all the hype I gave it was not just my over exuberance of having a shiny new toy. In short NO, it is that good. Another fantastic shave and face feel with the Ethos today. After using the Succes for a 2nd time as well, the performance of both is equal with the only difference being the cooling agent. The only knock is that, although nice, I would prefer the lime with no cooling agent, as I do not feel it needs it based on all the other performance, and post shave feel, of the soap. Again, not a bad thing to have it in there, just not needed. As Ethos being the King of the Shave Shelves, I still believe they will be, but I am sure the SV 70th and PannaCrema will not go down without a fight.

Today was a very nice 3-pass Crat shave. This razor is always fun to use, and probably the most aggressive DE I own. It can reach out and bite you and if vert "angle" dependent. Today she was nice, and rewarded me with DSBBS. The star of the show is and remains the skin food. Just fantastic. A bit of talc and a few Vasilli's of Royal Lyme to complete the Tri-fecta and off to the world of Shears, Clippers, and Covid haircut repair.

Have a Great Day Folks​
 
It's always fun fixing what someone else tried to do on their own. Shade tree mechanics on cars and motorcycles and harry homeowners around the house. All have started things. Then asked me to "take a look".
Sometimes funny. Sometimes sad. Always annoying.
Hang in thee Dave. Unlike my stuff "it grows back" applies to your realm of expertise.
