Speed kills. I should have tossed this blade yesterday, but I was in a hurry for no good reason. Not only did I use a blade past its prime, I went too fast over my neck, so a little irritated. Not too bad, though, because the lather was great and the splash is smooth.

Proraso White Tub today. 20 seconds to load the Plisson #12 European White Badger brush. Easy, thick, slick, lather. Personna 74 Tungsten still in the vintage Gillette Fat Boy. Excellent smooth, close, shave. I finished with Stirling Executive Man aftershave.

I realize I should probably keep shaving with my Rex Ambassador, but there are just so many razors, and not enough time!
In any case, my R41 spoke to me this morning. I switched the Bulldog handle for a Barber Pole handle, and the rest is history! Great two pass BBS on my face and a DFS for the noggin scrape with a minor weeper on the back of my head. Very pleased with the shave and the razor. I feel clean, smooth and refreshed, and ready for a great day!
