SAFETY Razor Shave of the Day (SOTD)
warhawk:
Hey Mike: Glad that U had a good morning DE shave. I hope that the Astra SP will give U a better shave (next time) but this goes to show that YMMV (your mileage may vary). What one blade or product works great for one person may not work as great for the next.
Sounds like you are thoroughly enjoying your DE journey. I'm glad that you are getting rave reviews from the wifey and daughter. So... do U think Kody will be interested in DE shaving one day?

Had one of the smoothest shaves of my life today! :D
Warhawk was incredibly generous and shipped me a few Astra SP blades to try out and my first impression of them is that they work a bit better than the Derby blades I had used previously. It'll take a few more shaves with each to decide which one I like better, but it seems Astra is ahead in the runnings right now. Also, for the past few shaves I've gotten much better at making a thick, creamy lather. I started using less water and more cream, and the consistency of the lather has improved greatly.
Face and head sink shave:
Razor: EJ de89
Blade: Astra SP
Shaving Cream: ToBS Sandalwood (with a few drops of glycerin and Shave Secret)
Brush: Vulfix 1016 Badger
Aftershave: Cold water rinse and Osage Rub
I also don't need to touch up with the Hydro 5 anymore! O0
