Jan.30 Red Tip/Wilkinson(3) .......... Paladin Sumo ........... Cella ....................................... Stetson milk
The last time my Gillette Red Tip saw use was around seven months ago in July, so I decided to bring it out once more as I was talking about mild razors yesterday. A little alum sting on a few parts of the neck and I felt the blade tab against my ear at one point (no exposed tabs on the ASD2), but other than that, a pretty gosh-darn golly-gee meh shave.

Thinking you might be getting ready to check this out..
You only gave him 8 minutes heads up warning!
So Sam, do all of these adjectives describing your shave indicate it may have surpassed the "Meh" level? I cannot recall your using such superlatives before.

And so January is in the books and saw 24 DE shaves and 7 vacation cart shaves. Not a bad shave this morning and I think I will go look in the basement for another mild razor to try for February.

This week is going by REALLY fast! I did laundry today which means that it's Sunday, right? Tomorrow is garbage day which means that it will be Wednesday. What happened to Monday and Tuesday?

Nothing helps you wake up quickly like putting the garbage out in the morning.

Feb.01 R41/Wilkinson(5) .............. Paladin Sumo ........... Cella ....................................... Stetson milk
Given how mild the temperatures are this morning, my mild* razor of choice was fittingly the R41. I like that the head is larger than the Red Tip's, as it covers almost all of the blade tabs and protects clumsy me from nicking my ears and nose with them. There's WAY more blade feel here than with most other DEs I have used, but the shave was pretty good with only a bare tingle from the alum block.
As for the chest hairs, they weave into a nice sweater front and the ear hairs doubles as a toque.
