My neck and shoulder are hurting from playing badminton last night - possibly aggravating some previous. But the shave didn't particularly suffer for it. Comfortable, quick two passes and out the door this morning. Away this weekend, so I will be using a DE for the first time in 2014!

That's the way to do it, three quick passes and I'm BBS. Great job by the slant.
 
The Life of a PolSilver Super Iridium blade - day 5

Wash with hot water
MenU bristle brush
Edwin Jagger Aloe Vera Soap plus Ingram cream
Face lather
EJ DE89
PolSilver Super iridium (4)
Cold water rinse
Avon Essentials conditioning after shave balm

Continuing the trend of this blade not being up to scratch this shave resulted in one nick and felt, overall, not as smooth as I'd expect, leaving my face very slightly uncomfortable.
Stubble though is gone effectively and result closer and smoother than I expected.
Giving serious consideration to binning this one now.

Really enjoyed today's shave, I'm probably going to be using menthol products exclusively from now on. They seem to give me the best results.
