  Good shave today. These blades are usually a bit extra on the first shave. Great scent.

  Very nice.

  I find this razor to be a little bit “sticky” causing a bit of drag. The chrome plating on it is very nice and smooth. You would think this would help it slide across your skin easier, but I find the opposite to be true. If your face is a suction cup, a chrome plated razor is like a piece of glass, where a razor with a slightly rough surface would be like trying to stick a suction cup to cardboard.

  Been doing wedding prep so haven’t been around here too much, but got in this shave before the big weekend!

  Hindsight and Stag actually paired up… alright. Probably not going to do this one again though. Image
