* My 1st shave with the DD Dwarf. I now own three ducks. The others are a 5/8 Goldedge(just got) & a 4/8 "Special Wedge". Now I see what the big deal is with the Ducks: Very easy to hone, and they are super shavers. What more could you want?

I don't know why I'm posting this, but here goes:
Shower
Off-brand aerosol gel
Wostenholm with the grain in some places and across the grain in the others
Gillette Mach II garbage blade with the little white lubrication strip against the grain on my neck
Hand-pat aftershave
I may have missed out on the full experience, but I got a close shave and made it to work on time
