I'm continuing with the eShave Linden, which is a bit fickle. I had some difficulty getting the water/soap ratio right today and understood why I didn't like it at first. A little experimentation resulted in a good lather, not as good as yesterday, but still plenty usable.
My Hawk DBSR is in fine form, maneuvering in tight spots and gliding along with ease. A good thing, because the blade I am using is a bit harsh. I am using a modern Gillette Super Thin today. I have used the vintage version of this blade and liked it very much, but this new version may take a little while for me to figure out. They're plenty sharp and glide fairly well, but they are also a bit bitey. I'll try them in a few razors and with a few soaps before I pass final judgement, but as of right now they are presenting to me as a bit to harsh for regular use.
A 2 1/2 pass shave (wtg/atg/xtg on the neck only) and I managed a DFS with moderate irritation, but suitably smooth skin. I think I'll switch to PdP and the RiMei for tomorrow's shave. I am feeling a little bit overwhelmed by strongly scented soaps and aggressive shaves. The PdP and a gentle shave with the RiMei should do wonders for my outlook.
