Weber ARC/Classic
Gillette Platinum 'Swede' (15)
Yardley English Lavender aftershave (vintage)

Another excellent shave. I know some fellows don't like it, but I really like the soap. The ARC has more friction and auditory feedback than the Polished Head or the DLC, not something I'd like every single day, but fine occasionally. And the 'Swede,' much like the Personna 74, is right at its sweet spot now on the 15th shave.

Second shave with the Blackbird today.

B&M Seville, suds and AS (luv that spicy, citrusy goodness), along with all the usual routine accoutrements.

Little to no burn from the alum despite the blade feel—and again—no weepahs!

Although I get the feeling this thing can bite...I’m showing it a lotta love, and it seems to appreciate that (lol).

Super-duper result though

Today’s SOTD.
