King C. Gillette three piece razor
DG Body stainless steel blade
Gillette Foamy shaving foam
Aqua Velva musk aftershave

Hot shower prep with Old Spice Swagger body wash

The blade doesn't suck.

I used the canned foam for test consistency. Lathered up and did the first pass. I had to use more strokes to get a first reduction. (2 day beard) Second pass was good enough to get a gas mask seal but nowhere near BBS. I didn't want razor burn so I let it be. Aqua Velva aftershave to finish. There are better blades but these Dollar General blades will do in a pinch.

For those that are still working have a happy weekend and for those that are not have a happy weekend anyway.

It was really nice to use the Sabre this morning, the L1 plate is so mild but still efficient enough.
The OSP soaps are really good, sadly another missing manufacturer.
Enjoy your day all.
