Smooth and easy shave today. I think this 🇸🇪 Rapira blade is done, though it did glide easily. L'occitane Cade is a good soap. I finished with B&M Reserve Classic and ?️ PAA Black Bot ? for a musky duo. BB smells great and lasts a long time, like all PAA aftershaves. 🇺?🇨? The Rockwell is a smooth operator.

Long past are the days in which I blamed the multiblade razors for all my shaving disgraces. Back then I had just discovered the benefits of DE and I was so excited that I even considered dumping all my cartridge razors into the litter bin, but something made me think that twice, and I'm glad I did not ditch them. A plane trip with hand luggage only obliged me to bring a couple of Sensor 3 disposables, and despite my reluctance I had to admit the evident... Used properly, these things work. Indeed they do.
Nowadays, I have learnt that my Mach 3 is my mildest razor and that this Sensor 3 provides really close shaves with absolutely no fuss. It's nowhere as fun as a DE, but sometimes you just need it to be quick and easy.
