Greetings,
August already!..this year is passing by too quickly.
Last outing with the lancet stainless, which paired up with the very efficient ming shi 2000s superbly. I've found with my growing shaving experience that a aggressive razor, pairs together with a non-aggressive blade.This was the case today, smooth efficiency.
I'm now starting to think that do the more expensive de blades perform any better than, inexpensive brands?..It's down to the individual or should i say if the blade is suited to your skin type i suppose, in a nutshell i see it has they are two types of de blades regardless of the coating and that is good or bad ones,obviously some will last and perform for longer, but that's if they are suited to your skin type.. We sometimes blame inexpensive blades for bad shaving results.."A bad worker, always puts the blame on his tools..The lancet has performed superbly, and i bought them purely because they where stainless, which my skin type get on with very nicely, along with good preparation this week this blade has rewarded me with some dfs, not bbs ones, granted but irritation free and comfortable, which is my personal aim every time i shave, adding to that it's down to good preparation & practicing your technique..this is 90% success to a good irritation dfs/bbs.
A very enjoyable 3 pass +pick ups silky smooth shave with no errors to report.
Finishing the shave off with a generous splash of Duru ~ Turkish Mandalina Cologne.
My face is feeling smooth & smelling devine.
Enjoy your day,ladies & gentlemen.
