A stunner of a shave today - superb BBS finish, no scratchiness or irritation. 3 full passes. Didn't even open up the nick I gave myself yesterday. Lather was amazing!

I almost put this off until morning. I'm working on the last shreds of the shaving cream. If I wasn't face lathering I would be done. This was the last shave in this blade. Carbon steel is softer than stainless. It is easier to sharpen and quicker to dull. I did three passes and near BBS. English Leather was enough to finish. Here's to a quiet week and no drama.

Just a simple and quick shave. We celebrated my granddaughter’s birthday with the family. There were 18 of us all told. A lovely day in the yard, although some of us escaped to the indoors to evade the skeeters.

Two passes. SAS. 8/10.

I found the tiny Ares V1 (the V2 is larger) to be an absolute marvel. After reading everything I could find online about its performance, I had expected something very aggressive, but that wasn't the case.

You certainly feel the blade more than with the V2—naturally, since the latter has neutral exposure—but the blade feel struck me as very well-balanced, providing constant feedback on how it’s cutting. It’s fun to use, demands just the right amount of attention—the kind I usually enjoy (it’s not a "killer" razor)—and I found its size and weight delightful.

Take care

💐
