I am a morning shaver. It's a wonderful way to start off the day. As I am currently pulling an oversized load and can only run daylight hours, and I also hate having to get out of bed any earlier than absolutely necessary, I decided to get my shave in this evening and save that precious pre-dawn time for that other most wonderful of morning rituals: coffee.
I have to say that it was quite an enjoyable way to end the day. No crowded restroom full of drivers trying to get their turn at the sink for a quick shave (and giving me dirty looks for taking so long with my leisurely shave). I had it all to myself.
I decided on something a little different and loaded a Personna in my SS. I've been using Feathers exclusively since I received my order of them although I still have several packages of the Personnas. Why let them go to waste? I lathered up some T&H Trafalger and went at it.
After using the Feathers for a while, that Personna felt very dull on my two day growth. I was amazed at the difference. It felt like I was dragging a butter knife across my face. It did give me a decent shave, it just didn't feel the same and I did have a bit more touch up to do.
I finished off with a nice refreshing splash of Bay Rum. That's when I could really tell the difference between the Feathers and the Personnas. I got quit a bit more sting than usual from that Bay Rum.
Ah well, it was still an enjoyable experience. I'll have to do the evening shave thing more often.
