I’m so happy I chose this setup for AA. This is my first tub of CGC, and $darkwing is allowing me to really get used to this A+ level base. And the MM14 is something else, one of my favorite razors in a long time.

3 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
I went back to my normal lathering method today and had a very nice shave, but I find myself using techniques for dealing with a dulling edge that I would normally use later in the month.

Phenomenal shave. I love this razor. No fuss and super smooth results with no irritation.
Bringing j33p back in since he shaved and forgot to post again.
