I took my time with the Flying Wing this morning, paying attention to riding the cap closely. Hell, the razor head even has a bullseye etched into it to remind you to ride the cap. Following the razor's advice, I got a spectacular shave. SBS's base is super slick and takes little effort to get it there and this GEM enjoyed slicing through it. No feedback from the splash to boot.

One day closer to the end of the week, thankfully, but my work calendar looks friggin' ugly. Gonna need a bigger coffee cup, clearly. Have a great day all!
