Nice shave. Woke up 5 minutes earlier than normal to go for a 4 pass rather than my normal work day 3 pass - seems to work for me for the moment.

Have a nice Monday guys.

I think the Super Silver has come to its end, it didn't seem to be cutting as well as yesterday anyway still got a DFS out of it, tomorrow I will test the EJ87 with a Wilkos special, yes the infamous Laser blade :shock: .

Have a nice and pleasant day Gents.

That sounds brave...If they are the Laser blades from the Wilkinson shop (rather than any other type of Wilkinson Sword Laser blade), i have heard nothing but bad things.....But hey, you may find they are awesome. I'll be very interested to see how you get on. ;)

I used to use these years ago in my Wilkinson Sword and Boots DE's, and they weren't very good, but then I knew nothing about shaving technique ( I hope I do now ).

Pashana AS

I hand stropped the dreaded Laser 8 times each side, loaded it into the EJ87 whipped up a good superlather and let battle take place, the Laser is a workable blade in the EJ I got A CCS+ out of it no weepers no irritation, would I use it again, NO only if I ran out of blades and the shops were closed, they're are much better blades as we know. I only did this as an experiment to see how good the EJ was, tomorrow back to normality (is there such a thing :?: :roll: ).

Have a nice and pleasant day Gents
