Results: An early AM shave due to an early AM meeting. After reading about Jeff's (aka, mvcrash) post with the Cade last night, I decided to give this überCade a try today. I decided to couple this fabulously delicious lather http://badgerandblade.com/vb/images/...ys/001_wub.gif with another of my Friodur Maxterpieces (You saw the #19 in G10 Green lime scales, featured yesterday), i.e., the #17 in Hunter Orange G10. Similar to her Green cousin, this #17 performed as perfectly as any Henckels/Friodur I have come across :y. With her buttery smooth edge, I used absolutely no pressure in either of the 3 directions and was rewarded to an absolutely blissful, irritation free and BBS shave http://www.foroafeitado.com/foro/ima...ies/banana.gif. Finished it with applying a mixture of Trumper's moisturizer and Floid to my face and a mini spray of Catalyst to my under shirt. |
