The Ultimate Aftershave: Declaration Grooming in Collaboration with Chatillon Lux - Vide Poche
Posted the paragraph below in my journal. But I am liking this razor so far a lot. I want a chance with a sharper blade because I honestly, and it looks like Chad and John agree also, I honestly think it will perform better this way. Anyway...we will see what Monday brings!
The wife and went and painted some pottery tonight and so I wanted to be presentable. A shave of course was in order. Of course this is just an excuse to use the Vector again! So I decided to pull out my favorite smelling soap and work in a lot of water to make it super slick. Decided to try out some different angles with the razor and got a pretty good shave! I chased a bit much on my neck and probably got a little too close in a couple spots. But nothing too serious. I am really digging how this razor feels in my hand. The weight of the handle and the lightness of the head are really suiting me. But got to say...this blade needs to be sharper. I mean a lot sharper. So I think Monday I will try out the Feather Super blade that John @The Monkey suggested. But all in all I got a pretty good shave. The neck could be smoother though. But a couple splashes of the same smelling aftershave and I am feeling great!
