Shaving Day 23
Filed under: General,Shaving — nobrainer @ 7:53 pm

This is day 4 with the DESR. Like yesterday, I used the shave secret shaving oil. Unlike yesterday, I decided to go for the against-the-grain shave. All things considered, everything went pretty well. The with-the-grain phase was unremarkable; it’s probably comparing to the original Sensor. I’ve found that short quick strokes work better than longer ones. Same thing goes when shaving against the grain. Today I ended up with a pretty good shave, equal to what I expect from the Sensor. Actually it probably compares pretty well with the shaves I had last weekend when I used the Mach3.

It appears that one blade when shaving is plenty. Of course, much more caution and thought must be used when using the DESR. It still intimidates me.

The testing will continue.

(note, I needed not include the “hatred” tag with this post)

Cool. You might be interested in this post, where I summarized everything I’ve learned to date about wet shaving. Good luck.
