Travel shave. These Personna disposables are a big improvement over the Bic Sensitive I've used previously.

I've been really enjoying these white Personna razors when I travel, too (relatively). I have one with 8 uses that still feels great.

[–] snooting@wetshav.ing 2 points 1 week ago

Yeah, they work well for a disposable.

Broke out this sample given to me by @porkbuttsntaters666@sub.wetshaving.social. Wonderful scent. Fresh and green. It's familiar but at the same time I doubt I've smelled anything like it.
