Daily Theme: I stuck with a tropical vibe since about an hour from now the family unit is traveling to a small island (Boracay) for some fun in the sun. HeV Deuce has a tropical element (citris lime!) and vegan so it's up today.
Daily Challenge: I'm still a caveman at heart so I've never evolved into SE shaving. Since using one side of a DE is acceptable (yet admittedly lame-@$$), I cut off one edge of yesterday's blade, put the remainder into the Progress and dove into the shave.
Very enjoyable DFS. First time using HeV and it produced a slick lather with minimal effort. The Progress did its job holding the partial blade. The only one who didn't do their job well was me. I was so thoroughly enjoying the shave I overbuffed around my chin and gave myself a bit of razor burn. Someday I'll get my act together. #ROTY
