Monday Morning:

Hot Shower/Hot Towel

Feather Hi-Stainless (Shave #1)
Vulfix #18 Boar
Proraso Aloe & Green Tea SS
Proraso A/S
TSD AS Milk
Preferred Stock


All kinds of crazy things were happening with my shaves last week. Irritation, tightness and dryness in my chin area. It was very disheartening. To top it all off, as I mentioned in an SOTD last week, I had a beastly ingrown hair right on my Adam's Apple that would just not go away. Finally, last night, I freed that sucker from it's epidermal prison and now, all is right with the world. I went with a nice gentle soap today but I had about 4 days worth of growth so I needed a nice, sharp blade. Hello Feather. Feather's work for me just fine but I only get one or two shaves out of a blade before they start to go hogwash on me. Hence the reason I don't buy that many because they are expensive and don't last long. As far as today's shave went, I have no complaints. Everything went really, really well and I'll look forward to another nice shave on Wednesday.

Today was my second go with the Muhle R89 (2009 version). What a well built, mild, three-piece razor. Paired with the Swede, it delivered a close, comfy shave.
