Micromatic Monday

And even more ironic that it was on the last day of the year. Luckily unlike 2021 I was able to load a fresh blade mid way through and finish the shave without any more issues. Vintage Williams and Aqua Velva along with the Zenith Boar performed fantastic. And today's watch is the G-Shock DW5600E. 

20 decent shaves on the blade! Nice!

I was surprised how good they were till this 21st shave that was really not good. I was tempted to try it in a different razor to see if that would make a difference but figured 20 is enough.

I had a Magnificent Micromatic Monday makeup shave today. I didn't Sha e yesterday so I went with the Micromatic Clog-Pruf Peerless and was rewarded with a fantastic smooth easy shave. Today's watch is the Casio World Time.

I have no problem with tallow soaps but this soap is one that will show you you don't NEED tallow and will stand against all the tallow soaps and hold it's own in my book.
