Two Pass - WTG & Modified XTG

I love the Fat ... a few gentle swirls and a lather explosion!

I've used this razor before with a modified Feather blade. It was very efficient, some would say aggressive, but I like aggressive. When I first fitted a test GEM blade, I thought the exposure was so slight that it couldn't possibly shave ... but I lent it to a pal who tried just that and reported that it shaved perfectly well.

It does ...

... although maybe on the mild side for me. There was no danger! I could just swipe away and the stubble came off. Puh! Where's the fun in that?

Best get my kicks from a good splash of VIBR, eh?

Lea stick, face lathered

Myrsol Emulsion

Very nice shave with some new items for me. The Lea stick was very nice and I got a great lather from it. I really like the emulsion, great scent and great feeling post shave too. Now to get some Myrsol a/s.

Nice 3-pass shave. I'm still coming to grips with face-lathering. Made a mess of the sink with lather flying everywhere.
