Second outing with the Mergress on loan from James AKA @Acer89 Thank you Sir.:notworthy:

No issues with the grip this time. Thanks to @rowlers for the tip about using an Alum block to aid with grip. It worked a treat, thank you. :thumbsup:

Not a bad shave either. 3 passes and minimal touch ups.
I did have a little irritation on my top lip on my last shave but no sign of irritation this time.
The Nacet seemed a better match than the Gillette Platinum I used last time. A smoother shave.

Sadly missed...

Great track Rob from the late great David Bowie, sadly missed indeed. P.
 
Greetings All,

Apologies, had to fly inter-island yesterday so no time for my SOTD write up.

Tuesday shave

One day growth and warm shave

Preparation – Showered then face washed with Clique Liquid facial soap (mild)

Soap: OSP Fougere
Razor: Rockwell 6C (4P)
Blade: Astra SP (2nd)
Brush: RazoRock 400 (face lather)

Post Shave: Hot then cold water rinse, Nivea 2 Phase followed by Michael Kors EDT.

Astra SP Test

Day 2

I have been anxious about this shave due to what happened with the Gillette Nacet. To my surprise, the shave was easy, not grumbles at all. Three passes went by without any incident and no more discomfort than usual – so one point up for the Astra on the Gillette Nacet.

Wednesday shave

One day growth and warm shave

Preparation – Showered then face washed with Clique Liquid facial soap (mild)

Soap: Molton Brown Soap
Razor: Rockwell 6C (4P)
Blade: Astra SP (3rd)
Brush: RazoRock 400 (face lather)

Post Shave: Hot then cold water rinse (Alum), Nivea Sensitive Cooling Balm followed by Molton Brown Black Pepper AS.

Astra SP Test

Day 3

This morning shave was less enjoyable than yesterday. The shave itself was fine with only one weeper, but I could feel some irritation starting by the second pass. I completed three passes as normal, but the post shave feel was (is) awful. Even without any Alum or products, my skin felt tight and tender, taking a while to ease off – so a point back for the Gillette Nacet – meaning they are neck and neck.

Cheers,

Brian
