Afternoon gents,
I don't normally shave two days in a row, but my recent straight shave wasn't the closest, though it still left me with no irritation. I thought I'd give another shave a go last night, this time using a new razor head for me, the ATT R1. I've been looking forward to giving this a go, so was hoping for a positive experience.
I plumped for Wickham 1912 Scottish Heather, second use of this soap and it's quite refreshing and enjoyable. I opted to use the Shavemac 386 2 band fan, with a short loft at 48mm and a knot of 25mm. This is a lovely brush, it worked up a fantastic lather incredibly quickly, has great flow through, soft tips, a very enjoyable brush to use.
On to the razor, loaded with an Astra SP on (I think) it's 3rd outing. It was very much a drama free shave, two passes and pretty smooth all over, again, not the closest, but certainly a very acceptable shave. Smooth, comfortable, enjoyable. I used the Atlas handle, which I do and don't like in equal measure, it's a lovely handle, which for certain strokes is lovely, but for other strokes, perhaps a little short. I'll have to try this head with a longer handle for my next shave!
Enjoy the rest of your Tuesday gents, until next time.
