I would probably have preferred to use this on dupe day, I love HDP 1899. It's one of the few original EDPs I own and would certainly buy again.

I did my best to knock this down in the last couple of weeks prior to the games kickoff. Though there is still enough for a healthy number of shaves. That being said the challenge should be able to knock that number down somewhat.

Opted for the WR3 today as well, the aesthetics aren't for everyone but I like the heft to it. The polar opposite of the Vestige, and nowhere near as manouverable, but the added weight makes it effortless. This is one of those razors where the 'zero pressure' rule almost applies.

Challenge - Water Day

I've only used the boar a couple of times so it managed to dig a fair old chunk out. Cracked on with the shave and two swipes in it started to clog. Knocked a bit off and carried on, finished up the first pass and needed a serious rinsing. Took over a minute to rinse the thing out,(don't worry I sped up the video so it's only around 15 seconds). Rinse and repeat for the remaining ATG pass.

Though I was singing the WR3's praises with it's additional heft, with this particular challenge it is a dire drawback. Negative pressure would have been preferable, but to do that I wouldn't be employing the Air Bud Rule...sorry no, not I, I'll just deal with a crap shave. Today made me look back fondly on the canned goo(p) day!

I'm self-declaring out of tomorrows surprise challenge. Sadly the Mrs can't stand blokes with shaved legs, and as much as I'd like to get extra points I do have to set my priorities.

Photocontest

In honour of the theme, I'm throwing in the 'Donut' (Doughnut) for today's effort.

Have a good kick off to the weekend all!

Cheers
