But she still has style and grace. This morning I used the Damaskeene rattles and all. I noticed the blade edge never moved, so I figured what is the harm. I did my normal prep a hot shower followed by Razorock gel rubbed in. I broke open the Derby shaving stick I recently purchased (great stuff BTW). Rubbed the stick on my face and lathered with Omega pro 49. That's when it happened. I heard the Dame's siren song. I could not believe the sound of the razor/blade was making as she caressed my face. I finished my WTG pass. Not bad, let's try AGT pass. The Dame continued her sweet song. I could not believe I was falling for such a lady, but she had me mesmerized by stately lines and her modest good looks. The AGT pass was done. Wow, I never had a shave like this. Now the true test, XTG. I normally don't try the XTG pass because it irritates my face way too much. But I didn't want to end my date with my Dame. So with short, soft strokes, the Dame kissed my face without any hint of her presence.
I must say, I have looked for a perfect shave. I used an injector when my father taught me how to shave years ago. I tried electrics, multi-blade monstrosities, back to electrics and finally DE about five years ago. My quest for the perfect shave was, in my mind, unattainable. Then I discovered something called single edge razors for various forums including this one. I used the Gem HFT last week and noticed a much closer shave, but not quite there. Then my dance with the old Dame happened this morning. While not perfect, it is as close of a shave as I ever had in my 40+ years of shaving.
Thank you to everyone her for your encouragement and tips.
Long live TOST
