SOTD: 11/11/2022

Razor: Shield Avenger

Preshave: Proraso Pre-Shave Cream Sensitive Cream
Soap: Proraso Green Puck

Another 3 days with the Shield and smooth as ever. I’ll try it with a new blade next time to see how it performs but it’s definitely a keeper! Effortless but not soulless, it requires some skill on the users part but not challenging or too difficult, a great daily driver or razor for special occasions. This wasn’t supposed to be the one but I think it just might be! I’ve even been contemplating saving for a polished variant to see the difference, (not before trying the Vector, that itch still needs scratching!)
