Todays shave comes courtesy of @[email protected]. He sent me his MK 31 and a few smushes to try out. This MK 31 is an awesome shaver. Like yesterday's shave with the Rifiuto, the Swedish steel is light and has such a gentle feel. It's easy to see what makes them so appealing.

First time with Jack. I think it's almost lighter than Joker in scent strength. I'm sure a part of that comes down to all the citrus. Once you do get a good whiff, it's pretty straightforward citrus and juniper. I'm not personally a big fan of gin, so this scent doesn't do it for me. For those who don't mind it, I can see this being easy to enjoy. Although light, it's very well done. Nice shave this morning.
