Greetings

Tuesday 15th October 2013
Prep: Shower
Razor: Valet Autostrop (Canadian)
Blade: GEM Stainless Coated Modified
Brush: Semogue OC Boar
Soap: Cella
Aftershave: Astral Cream (light)

Ultra close shave; this model Autostrop is a lot more aggressive than any of my other models it does shave really well but needs a lot more care and a perfect lather otherwise it can be a little 'scrapey'.

Regards
Dick.

Excellent shave today. Terrible shave from my Weber yesterday (???) which I didn't bother posting... wondering if it was a dud blade, though.... didn't feel right from the first scrape and my own fault for continuing.
But... business as usual today

First time with this Razor, which i accidently won on ebay:icon_rolleyes:! I wanted to get my Dad a birth year razor, but realised as i clicked commit to buy that this was ten years too late!!:icon_mad::icon_mad: so i've kept it!

Don't know if it was just just me but this razor was silent! I actually thought i was doing it wrong as i wasn't getting any feedback and it didn't feel like i was shaving. Its very mild but it was doing its job for an overall good shave.
