Sunday morning! Usually my Sunday shaves are some of my most enjoyable as I’m not rushed and I take more time with my prep, plus I have my music wafting through the house. This mornings playlist was mostly a mix of smooth jazz and 80s RnB. But anyway, todays shave was not to be included in that category.

I know it sounds hard to believe, but I think I’ve found a blade/razor combo that is TOO MILD for me.. ME! Yep sounds crazy to me too. I tossed a Lord Platinum in the Frankentech, thinking it would give me a nice close shave. I’ve heard good things about the Lord Platinums. Israeli I believe. So I whipped the TOBS into it’s usually bountiful, rich lather. The almond scent combined with the post humidity of my shower had the room smelling awesome! Smelled so good Chico came in to sniff around and investigate LOL

Back to the shave, the Lord blade with the Tech head was so mild at times it felt like it wasn’t even cutting hair. I had to go over several spots several times. The lack of feedback also had me unconsciously applying more pressure so I ended up with a few minor weepers. The witch hazel was happy to inform me of several patches where’d I’d irritated the skin also. I should have stopped and finished with a different blade, but I’m stubborn like that.

Ended up with a decent shave, with some less than close areas that I gave up on so to not irritate them further. Lesson learned. Next time I use a Lord blade it will be in my MR3. Have a great Sunday!

P.s. This is what Chico was up to while I was abusing my dome…
