Second shave for the Bluebird and I'm glad I tried it again a very nice and close shave, these guys are sharp :shock: , combined with the Arko a very nice smooth comfortable shave, last time must have been a duff blade (not my technique then
:roll: ). Another DFS+ was had.
Have a nice and pleasant evening Gents

Wow, what a turn up for the books. This was the most comfortable shave vs closeness I've had. Literally 99.99% Irritation free. What a difference a good shave makes. I was almost ready to put down the DE after the last few shaves. Back to the trusty Red Personna. I half mug lathered, half face lathered and then 2 passes WTG and a pass XTG on my neck. A lot was resting on this shave for me. Maybe I just paid more attention but I seemed to be naturally correcting my blade angle (I think my angle had been too wide before causing tugging and therefore pain).
Smooth smooth smooth.
I only needed to apply some balm about a half hour after my shave because my skin felt a little tight. Minimal sting from the alum and no sting at all from the AS.
I am happy.

Azzaro EDT
Well after my MMA class tonight my arms/wrists were toast, so I didn't fancy giving the Futur its 1st run and used the DE89 with the Treet Carbon blade for a 2nd time. I understand that the carbon steel rusts easily so last night I patted it dry and dried the razor before letting the fan heater in the bathroom assist the drying process. Then hand stropped and reassembled the razor and blade. I got a very good 2nd shave but ditched the blade at the end of it.
