so, a quick summary of my weekly shaving routine before making my point

SAT: No shaving
SUN: NO shaving
MON: looking like a homeless...but i have the best shaving of the week
TUE: Piece of C***
WED: Not bad
THU: Good
FRI: as bad as TUE

so, after some research and personal tests I finally realize that the problem is not the razor, nor the temp of the water, nor the shaving cream..its my skin!!!

TUE sucks because MON rocks! when I start the TUE ritual, part of the grain is already exposed while some of the little bastards are still about to "be delivered". The result is a 5 o'clock shadow at 11am + lots and lots of irritation.

the tip is, buy a vegetable exfoliating sponge (go as rustic as possible..or as your skin can take) and give your face a nice rub on the tough days...this thing has been doing wonders for my nightmarishes TUE and FRI
