Another day, another shave. As a judge of this contest I know depressingly little about what one actually needs to do here; I had no idea what I would be shaving with when I tucked in to shave.
The Daily Challenge was easy enough as I always shave with SEs. Well, almost always. Been using DEs a lot lately. Yesterday I used the razor that I sort of wish I could use today, if I had remembered what today was. The challenge, that is. Not the day. Point being, I wanted to use something different, and so the idea of using one of the least used razors in my den, the Featherweight, took hold.
The lather was where I thought I would end up over in the other thread. Did I have non animal byproduct soap? I started pulling apart the drawer that my soap lives in and stumbled on this nearly full pick of PdP that I’ve have for like five years. I don’t much like the scent, and my wife really doesn’t like it, and so it barely has gotten used. According to their website they don’t use animal byproducts so it seems I’m good there.
I decided to event go with my only synthetic brush, which was something of a mistake. I got this thing a long time ago, and it’s always just felt fake on my face. I always feel like I get a little brush burn from it.
The lather wasn’t great either, whether by virtue of being this lather or the problems with the brush. Nor was I pleased with the razor—somehow I felt like I had more stubble after the shave than before. I have always felt this razor was absurdly mild.
Oh well. The irritation was less than I thought. That’s good.
