Just a quick Fusion razor/Aveno canned gel shave this morning.

However, I finished off with Floïd Blue After Shave splash and all was right with the world, again.

What a difference proper prep makes! I took the advice of many people and lathered up with this wonderful Viking soap. I then took my time stroping the Chimera, letting the lather soften and moisturize. I then wiped the lather off and proceeded to lather up using the baseball pattern. Much better shave today, I had some tugging around my chin, the spot that's most coarse, but it was doable. Three passes today all with the Chimera, no blood, almost silent alum and a DFS. I'm off for a hot date, have a great day folks!
