First thing I immediately got rid of that Lord Platinum blade and swapped in a Racer SS. Right off the bat this was a much better experience. It was sharp enough, and although not the smoothest I’ve tried, still it produced a pretty close shave and no weepers. I’m looking more closely at the Tech because although I hate to say it, I think it may be becoming to mild for my shaving wants. The Tech shaves milder than either of my Super Speeds. I love my Tech as it was my first vintage razor, but it may soon get relegated to collection status only. Maybe..

The AOS soap is just average for me. It lathers decent but not great. It has decent glide but no real protective feel afterwards. I don’t think I will every purchase it after this is gone. The only bonus is that it’s unscented so the scent of the PSO shines through. Other than that, it’s a future pass from me.

I’ve been making my Wednesday shaves cold water shaves as it saves time. Wednesday mornings are usually a time crunch for me. I know some people claim the cold water makes the hair stiffer, giving them a closer have but so far, I haven’t noticed. I do notice nicks are less painful LOL Have a productive hump day!!
