Happy Monday Everyone. It's hard to believe that another weekend went by so quickly. Back with the Asylum Rx again this morning. The shave continues to improve as I master the razor. I need to remember to ride the cap on this razor to have a smooth shave. A relatively drama free shave with only one weeper. Overall a good start to the day and the work week. I hope everyone has a great Monday.

Happy Tuesday Everyone. I received the Supply Co Pro yesterday and given my complete lack of patience, I took it for a spin this morning. I will say upfront that I have Supply Co V2 razor as well. I absolutely love V2. Having read some negative comments on the new Black Label blades I really did not expect much from the blade. I was pleasantly surprised. The blade worked great for me. I found it much better than the Supply Co White label blades that shipped with the V2 razor. I set the razor for 3 and went to work. Three passes and minimal touch ups caught the baby with ease. I found the setup equal to or better than the Supply Co V2 that I used last week. My initial impressions are very positive. I will keep using it for a few more days and update my thoughts.
 
My acquisition of both was strange. Originally only went with the Pro because it was an adjustable. Then I reached out to Supply because I thought the mildness of the SE razor might be something to try with my son Aidan. By the time the vendor responded (within minutes mind you lol) and I got back on the site - the SE was already sold out. But when they sent us the email regarding picking out colors - they had the offer to get the SE so I did. - Phew - long winded story lol

Happy Hump Day Everyone. A early morning shave with a late morning post. Greyson, my dog, has been sick this morning. I think it got into something last night on his final patrol of the day. Ended up having to take him to the Vet for a shot to settle his stomach down. The meds seem to be working and now I can get back to my day.

Back with the Supply Pro this morning. I dialed the setting up to 4 for the shave. The shave was smooth and efficient. I ended up with a couple of weepers when foolishly buffed my chin. Note to self, "Don't do that again". Despite my error, the overall shave was very nice. I hope everyone has a great Wednesday.

Happy Thursday Everyone. This week is really flying by. I am happy to say that this morning was much less drama than yesterday. Greyson is doing much better and is almost back to the happy go lucky pup we love. Back with the Supply Pro again today. I admit it, I am smitten with this razor. It flat out works for me. I hope everyone has a great day. Take care.
