SOTD 7-29-15

Comments: Today was another straight razor only shave! I did two passes (WTG, XTG), then a cleanup type pass (XTG/ATG), which worked fine! No irritation or nicks!!!  I do feel a couple of areas that could have been closer but I will still call it a DFS shave!  No issues with the infamous Arko soap as it works well for me. A very good shave today!

Please feel free to leave comments on any items used as I enjoy reading them to see what others say about the gear I am using/trying out! Of course, YMMV!

Thx.

Reminder and RAD relief
I have been yearning for a Merkur Futur because I like the shaves I get from my Fatboy on nine. Today was a reminder and RAD cure because the Fatboy let me know I'm not ready for anything more aggressive yet. 
I left the FB on nine for two passes, and I got more burn than I've had for a long time. I know I can get a great shave using 9-7-7, but I just *had* to try 9-9 and shoot for a two pass WTG-ATG. How foolish I am! Live and learn.
I think Givenchy Pi is a nice compliment to Lavanille, at least until I can afford the matching splash! Anyway, Pi has a little more vanilla at first, but dries down nicely and lasts all day.
