Seeing Red
I'm still suffering from my bout with the Mach3 Power. My neck is raw hamburger meat, and I've got red bumps on either side of my adam's apple where my skin's the most sensitive. This is exactly the problem I used to have when I was shaving with the original Mach3, and I haven't had it since I switched to using a double-edge razor. But one shave with the Mach3 Power, just to try it out, and now I'm back to square one.
It's Father's Day, so I treated myself to the swankiest shave rig I've got at my disposal -- Merkur Vision razor, Trumper's Violet shaving cream, and a custom bespoke brush made from real silvertip badger hair (a grade above what's generally labelled "silvertip" or "super" by Vulfix et al).
I went extra soft with the shave, since I'm trying to recover from the beating I took from the Mach3 Power, but I may need a day or two of no shaving to let my neck heal. Even an extra-soft, extra-luxe DE shave hurts after the M3P debacle. I wish I'd never tried that stupid vibrating razor.
Happy Father's Day to me. My neck looks like Zappa's "Weasels Ripped My Flesh" cover.
