The full Proraso treatment never fails to satisfy. After a relatively hard winter, the coolness felt great! The MoDoSo #14 blank as finished by Herr Wacker is a superior shaver ... And I love the very slight smile!

Ahhh, the midnight hour shave. Very relaxing and enjoyable. One razor today; the straight. Three passes. WTG, XTG, AGT. I don't know whether to call it CCS or Darned Fine Shave, but I got a very close, quite comfortable shave over all. The only bit of discomfort, and I'm not sure I could call it that, was under the jawline and along the neck. Still working on the angle there, so not as comfy as the rest of the shave.
But, I got a shave so close(even my chin) that there was zero point in a clean up with the DE.
I have been using too shallow of an angle(20 degrees or less), and the blade has been cutting some, and skipping over other areas. Opened that angle up just a bit, and now getting a great shave!
Still ill, but feeling a lot better. I think it's pretty much done for, thank God.
Have a great shave, everyone!
