Nice shave Chris! Glad to hear the missus is doing better. That Toggle is...interesting haha.

An Assure blade in a Toggle!

Thanks Steve!
Hah! That was my worry, but in the end I guess it doesn’t matter much, it’s just for fun.

Shave #29 of 2019:
Gear: Gillette Toggle, Personna Platinum Chrome blade (?), Yaqi SF synth, CBL Roasted Oatmeal Stout soap, generic witch hazel, and Old Spice AS (modern) to finish!
Once again, though it was still on the edge of acceptable, the Assured products push up the enjoyment of “normal” products. Shave today was great, buttery smooth in fact; I actually couldn’t feel the shave and lost the angle at some points...and I’m pretty sure this Personna has been around the block a bit. I had only one area on the upper lip with some nominal scraping/rawness from chasing.
Everything else...perfect. I mentioned it in the video, but the Toggle feels very close to the Fatboy, but slightly different balance and maybe a tad more heft. I will try upping the settings over the week.
Went to bed a little early last night, it kinda worked, as I felt marginally more rested upon waking up this morning.
Back to work this afternoon for a full week of general busyness and running around.
Have a great Tuesday all!

Do you still have your Fatboy Chris? Perhaps a shave off is in order...?

I do! You mean you want me to make and even longer video?
I’ll be reaching epic Peter Jackson production proportions before too long!

Shave #30 of 2019:
Gear: Feather AC SS, Feather Pro blade (19?), Gillette Toggle, Personna Platinum Chrome blade (?), RR Big Bruce synth, DRH Sandalwood soap, generic witch hazel, and CC Venture AS to finish!
Really great shave today with the Toggle. I kicked it up to setting 5. It was still fairly smooth and forgiving, but seemed to do a bit better. Sitting at about 95%+ BBS.
I did start the shave by reintroducing my face to the Feather AC SS. Two passes and I was within CCS/DFS territory, zero irritation or blood loss.
The missus has her shoulder check up today, to determine if she’s ready for PT and to be removed from any activity restrictions. Hoping for good news!
Have a great Wednesday all!

I’m already half way there! If I just add a Spider v1.0 intro, an extra shaving pass or five, leave in my full post shave routine, and flub around on camera a bit longer...I’m there!
