I've been shaving for...about 2.5 years now with a straight.

This morning it took me half an hour to shower, shave and get ready for work......just as long as when I used my M3 in the olden days.

However....I was failry surprised after using my freshly honed TI 7/8 on a 3 days beard that when I put my Aloë and alcohol aftershave on my face it didn't sting......at ALL.

I had to check by scent whether it really was my aftershave......

And then to think that I used to burn for half a day after shaving.......and still didn't have a smooth face afterwards.
