Gear: Assured Razor, Assured blade (1), RR Big Bruce synth, William’s (modern) soap, generic witch hazel, and Barbasol PR AS to close!

Today I stared death in the face, and he blinked first.

 
Chris you just about gave me a heart attack! I thought it was Monday all over again!

So what I hear is the razor is the problem and you prefer after the 3 shaves to continue with the blades in a good razor because they are fine and that you NEED a Graham Field blade to compare it. Does hat cover it? ? Good job Chris

Well, not fine, but manageable; but yes, at least with my duo, I think the razor is a bigger problem.

Eliminated some variables today in the Assured Razor Challenge...it wasn’t without some discomfort, but I came out on top with a 70%+ BBS, the rest a touch into DFS.

In the shave I only used the near perfect side of the razor, I did not flip the blade or anything else. Yesterday I simply dipped the entire head, blade and all, into isopropyl for a couple seconds. I haven’t even opened the razor back up.

The WTG and XTG passes were actually semi-comfortable. The edge of the blade had indeed smoothed put a tad, but still was obviously lacking in sharpness when passing over some spots. No tugging yet, but I did feel some scraping.

ATG is where the deficiencies of the blade really become noticeable. It cut, but produced a moderate bit of razor burn and some irritation. Nothing the witch hazel couldn’t handle, but still fairly uncomfortable, unpleasant, and scrape-y in a number of spots. Skin is a bit tender, but otherwise I’m good for the final use of this duo together for tomorrow’s shave.

This morning had me dragging. My aches and throat congestion was precursor to a light head cold I guess. After dropping everyone off for the morning, I went home and shut my eyes for an additional 2 hours, something I almost never do. Thankfully I set an alarm, I could very easily have probably spent the rest of the day in bed unknowingly. I got up and freshened a bit with a shower and shave. Still far from 100%, but a bit more on the ball than this morning at least. Off to pick everyone up and off work soon!

Have a great Thursday all!
 
Look at that. This razor seems to shave better when you're a little out of it and not realizing how bad it is.
