Kismet Blade - Losing My Edge
#Monthofweckoning


Can I get 31 shaves out of this blade? Yes. Easily. Though I do feel that the edge is dulling slightly, I'm not close to the point where I would toss the blade. I have not palm-stropped it, nor do I intend to.

The 70th Anniversary fragrance continues to be enjoyable when used daily. I am not tiring of it. There is more depth to it in the EdP, but that is to be expected.

At the end of this month, I'll have 34 shaves on the puck. This would be a good year to use 70th Anniversary 70 times.
