Razor: Geneva Cutlery Co. Henry's XXX 11/16

P.S. Bela sorry that I'm late, but still Happy Birthday! May all your wishes come true!

DE day, one more time...I guess.

Prep:Shower/ Noxema
Brush: Thater 4125-2
Scuttle: G5
Soap: Proraso SS
Razor: 1962 Gillette Slim/ Merkur blade
Post: Proraso/ Nivea lotion unscented
Result: DFS, still not impressed with a DE, but better when I set it on '5'. It's not that it's a bad shave, it's just not a straight shave...with a straight I am smooth until bedtime, DE only makes it to about 6.

Way to pull out all the stops Munroe, congrats on SOTD!

Bela, belated Happy Birthday, my friend!

Quick shave tonight. Been busy with moving the girls around.

And thank you, I enjoy this razor a lot

Oh, I wasn't being pedantic. My De Pews is quite wedgy, and also quite narrow. It seems to me that most wedges are massive things, fit only for use by Canadians and Vikings...
