Still shaving from the GoBag at work. The military chin can’t have changed much over the years, because the Gillette Old out of the Khaki Kit still gives a smooth, nice shave.

I was going to point out that it was another fine Friday shave, but honestly… after shifting to traditional wetshaving almost 13 years ago, virtually every shave have been a fine shave. Traditional wetshaving not only give me my morning moment of Zen, but also means no shave bump, almost never any ingrown hairs, and fewer cuts and nicks.

A wonderful Wednesday shave with my Schick from down under. It is – or at least feels – a bit more aggressive than the Type B, but not by much.

Taking a new-to-me razor for a spin is always exciting. The Type A should be fairly similar to the Type B, but the head geometry is subtly different. More on that tomorrow.

A smooth and relaxing midweek shave. Slants are sometimes seen as aggressive – and therefore scary – but with the right blade and the right touch I find my slants to be a joy to use.

Another fine Friday shave. Williams Mug Soap is another of those soaps people love to hate, if random people on the internet is anything to go by, but I find it a solid performer.
