Stirling Gentleman today. 20 seconds to load the WD Silvertip brush. Easy, thick, slick, lather. Gillette Platinum-Plus in the Gillette Fat Handle Tech. Excellent smooth, close shave. I finished with Stirling Gentleman aftershave.

Having been successful lately with my milder razors I dialed back the Q-Shave (with its new polished cap and guard) to 2.5 with one shim. It's always a bit tuggy but very manageable today. The 2.5 setting is more than enough blade gap to allow for the angles I like on the back of my head. A bit more irritation than usual (too much pressure surely) but a very close and enjoyable shave. Tian Li, LA Shaving Shop SM Bay Rum, great stuff.

Took the Contour off the shelf to see how it would work for me. In the past it had been to mild and the shaves I want just didn't come with it. But I love the look/feel of it so tried again. Surprise! It worked well and gave a close, comfortable shave. So I'm ready to go. Now go enjoy your day folks.
