2022 shave #210 (DE:44 SE:54 Str:111 Cart:0) - 1466 days of consecutive shaving
Tedalus Essence w/ Feather Proguard (6)
Tallow + Steel Madagascar
AP flat top

Nivea 2:1
Le Labo Patchouli 24
Off to see the parents today. Going to be a hot one so likely a lot of time inside but home cooked meals and mostly relaxing. Ended up having to bring the work laptop, but things shouldn’t be too bad.
Bit of a tuggy shave which bummed me out. That’s the whole reason for proactive blade changing.

Quitter.
Six high quality shaves/blade seems decent, though I also expect more from an AC blade. However, my practice is to pitch them if they tug, even a little bit. Life is too short to waste time with subpar shaves.
As someone that used to throw blades away after only 3-5 uses and who now gets 30+ uses out of a single blade......I'm not sure what you mean by sub-par. You and @BarberDave taught me to use an alum block and now that I get no tingle.......you have both taught me well. And you have no one to blame but yourself for my Jedi Shave Master status.
For me it means having to resort to excessive buffing to get BBS.
For me it’s any tugging that wasn’t there on previous shaves. Yes it’s still removing hair, but the overall experience isn’t as good.

So you’re saying it’s like drinking bourbon after having been a single malt drinker for years?
Exactly. Enjoy your shaves!

Despite @heysi being willing for me to use a full blade, this in had some travel miles on it so I replaced it one shave early. Pretty good visit so far despite the heat. Heading off for a few hours at the Saturday Market which is a year-around craft/food/music deal. Then a afternoon of puzzles and games.

That’s one razor I don’t want to risk to lost luggage
