SOTD 13-19 December 2015

After my Tuesday shave with the King Cobra where I used an over-used Feather Proguard blade in in and ended up cutting myself a bit I was, admittedly, a bit hesitant to use the KC again this morning. Burnt child, fire and all that.

But...I went ahead and plopped the once-used Feather Pro blade into it. Sucked it up and went to 'work'.

Amazing different - clean, efficient strokes. This is by no means a mild razor though - and I got a small weeper this morning to re-remind me about that. It has a bite to it - but oh boy, does it ever shave closely and efficiently. Once again the size of the handle/head proved to be of no concern as far as navigating around my face during the shave. Great, great razor and I am very happy I was able to get hold of one.

Other gear
Used the New Forest Tubby 2 for the first time. That handle does feel massive but in a fun way and the knot was superb to use this morning.
Applied some Acqua di Eucaliptio by Extro' in Turin, Italy. This 200ml bottle sells for about 4-5 Euro/6-7 dollars and is a very non-intrusive post shave splash. No strong scent or perceived skin benefits - just a nice, fresh eucalyptus water. I rather like it but not 100% sure I will buy it again, we'll see once I've used it a bit more.

The Force, in the case the hefty Dub Legend handle, returned this morning to carry the breezy 19g AlumiGoose head. You know how people say they can't feel the blade? Well this shave I could hardly tell that there was a razor head on the end of the handle.

Despite the complete lack of any balance between razor and head, the AlumiGoose does work, and does it in a fun way. This shave was a quick 2-pass BBS to get me ready to see BB-8 and the gang.

Shave On, You Must!
