At first I was going to use a DE today to break my GEM streak (briefly) before another month using GEM... but then I thought "hey, it'd be more fun to use the MM24 today with this old blade, and start a fresh blade tomorrow to see the difference". So, I did that. Tomorrow I'll start with a fresh blade. Today was a bit tuggy.
Repeated the Fili 14, Varen and the Stirling × Zenith brush today today, so I guess I'm sufficiently stuck in time for today's theme. A rare non second-luxury evening shave for me because I overslept this morning and was forced to live with practically a hobo beard all day. #Sad!

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
"stuck in the past"
I always forget how good Spiced is. As much as I like the other Seaforth scents that I have, this one, somehow, triggers feelings of nostalgia and takes me way back. I'm certain that if this scent was around in the '60s I would have used it instead of Old Spice as my "goto" aftershave.

Great shave. Very comfortable shave from this razor even though the blades on its last run. This brush is still a big thirsty hog of a unit.

Yeah, the size of the brush kind of demands that you load heavily. Once it is broken in it feels terrific, though.

I'm getting psyched about the upcoming total solar eclipse in North America.
This is still the first blade I've used in this razor and I've taken it further than any other DE blade. The Overlander continues to impress me.
Hope everyone enjoyed their extra day this year.

Good shave, but I 'm extremely tired.
Have a good evening!
