Wednesdays always remind me of undercooked steak. They just sit there aimless, in the middle of the week, like a forlorn steak in the middle of a plate. The pleasant shave picked up the slack, though.

A razor I never used before, a test blade, and a fantastic shave. 2 1/3 passes for a BBS. This is another razor that I can use after a rare night of bad ice cubes.
I think I'd rank this razor maybe a hair (and just a hair) more aggressive than my Black Handle SS. I was going to use it just to make sure it was good to go and then part with it, but I think it'll stay on the shelf. I love the handle.

An excellent shave this morning! After last night's light rain, it smells like spring outside. Although I know that Nature is teasing us, I thought a touch of menthol would feel nice--and it did.
