SOTD 23-29 February 2020

SOTD 02/25/20

Yesterday I shaved with my Muhle R41 (2011) with a Feather blade, and while I received a BBS shave, I did experience some level of skin irritation on my neck and on the left side of my head.

It’s funny you say this about the Feather blade.  On the first use of a Feather I experience irritation somewhere on my face or neck (throat) area.  Upon a 2nd and 3rd use I feel the blade is even more smooth than its first use and ZERO irritation.  No idea why this is?
