IKR? Sometimes pain gets me up as can't lay there anymore. Shouldn't you be in bed now. Put the game paddle (or whatever you call it) down

2020 Shave # 156 ( 565 Consecutive Shave Days )
Razor: Gillette Red Tip
Blade: ASCO Orange (1)
Brush: Paladin 26mm Vesuvius Chief
Soap: Panna Crema Nuavia Rossa
Aftershave 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
Aftershave 2: Speick
Fragrance: Viktor and Rolf Spice Bomb
So I have a Zoom meeting for mostly all day today and wanted a nice Luxury shave. Pulled my favorite Paladin and Nuavia Rossa with the Red Tip sporting a NEW ASCO Orange blade. The last in a pack of 5 that have been smooth shavers for me. 1st pass felt like it was a Graham Field blade...............................What? Tried to wet my face more to hydrate the hair better thinking my lack of prep attention this morning was to blame and I proceeded with an atg on pass 2.....................nope, same tugging and blade pitched after the pass. After lathering up for a third pass I grabbed the 6s with Plate 5 and a Wizamet blade for a second atg pass which finally felt good and got to the end result I wanted. Must have been a bad blade as the others from that pack surprised me and were decent. Chose Speick for the aftershave to help with the 2 rough passes and topped off with Spice Bomb. Have a great day Cadre !!!!

Game paddle? The last game you heard about was Pong??IKR? Sometimes pain gets me up as can't lay there anymore. Shouldn't you be in bed now. Put the game paddle (or whatever you call it) down
Ooooh you used my brush today.
Sounds like almost a dud blade if it was that bad. I know I'm a little out of touch but doing my research on everything DE blades I know those ascos get mixed reviews. Not really a lot of middle ground... Is the cadre using them now? Teaser... I'm working on a schedule to get the bad blade reviews going again

Never heard of "Top Secret" brand soap. Sounds like a lot of hype.

2020 Shave # 158 ( 566 Consecutive Shave Days )
Razor: Rockwell 6s Plate 5
Blade: Wizamet (6)
Brush: Cadre 2nd Anniversary
Soap: Naid by M&M
Aftershave 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
Aftershave 2: Stirling Peach
Decided for the nice scent of Naid today but the soap has changed. It was always an EXTREMELY soft cream to me and has now gotten gritty and granulated in substance. That has continued and I thought I would give it one last chance to see if the lather was good at least. VERY lightly swirling on the tub and trying to apply to face was not successful. Read the disgust on my face
So I smeared some in a bowl to try lathering it and got an acceptable lather for the shave but still had pieces in the lather although small and I probably could have eliminated them with more work. Too much work for me and this will go in the pif/trade pile as I don't have time or patience for soap like this with so many others to use. Shame as I love the scent.
That's it for today's shave and hope all have a great day on the Cadre !!

I had had those little white dots in a red Cella tub once, but they did not affect the lathering.

Sadly this is different. It's not just the little dots that can appear. It's the consistency of the product has gotten gritty/granulated.Blah
