ED’s Shaving Journal & Other Ramblings.

Smallest container I could find.
So I will be shaving with Proraso till it’s GONE. Not a bad way to Finish a Tube of Shaving Cream.

Was also sitting Here Thinking about a Brush that was given to me in a ( PIF )
About 4 or 5 Years ago.
It has Never lost a Hair. I’m pretty sure it’s Not a Expensive brush but it has Become one of my Favorite Brushes.
I Think it came from the Shave Den.
Not sure though ( Memory thing )
It’s a 24 mm Badger Glows in the Dark.
No idea who makes it.
When I was PIF’ed the Brush it also came with a Big Block of Home Made Sandalwood Shave Soap.
Which is long gone. I split it in half to give a Friend. The shave soap was a great soap. Nice sent and the Slickness was Awesome.
Too bad I can’t Remember who PIF’ed it to me. Again Bad Memory Or Old Age or Both. LOL.

I’ve always wanted to Try the Futur. So Of Course Yesterday’s Shave with the Futur was an Amazing First Shave.
I did 3 Passes on the First pass I set it at 2 did great. On the Next 2 passes I set it on 3 as I’ve heard that the razor is kinda Aggressive above that setting.
I got an amazing BBS o so Smooth Shave. Definitely a Keeper.

Nice acquisitions Ed! The Futur has always been on my too-afraid-to-try list because of how aggressive people say it is 😂

That’s why I wanted to Try a Futur.
I Like Aggressive / Er More Efficient
Razors. If you keep it Dialed down Below 3 it’s not that bad. Next time I shave with it I’m going above 3. I Gotta Know. [emoji12]

Don’t recall the Vision will have to look it up. The Next one I would really like to have is the Progress. Been kinda Drooling over that one for a while Lately.

I know a lot of people that love the Progress - I haven’t had the pleasure myself. The Vision was another Merkur that was discontinued - If the Futur is Bruce Banner - then the Vision was the Hulk 😂
