A shave of 2 halves today,
I had a really nice lather from the Vintage cream, i am amazed that this still works so well after all this time, the scent is light and clean.
I decided to give the Ally Rolls a run out today after the successful shave with the stainless steel version last week.
The 1st pass WTG went really well with the blade cutting without problem, i started the XTG pass and the blade started to pull a bit on the tougher stubble around the chin, i switched sides and again it was OK on the cheeks but really began to pull on the chin stubble.
I had the Model T on standby to do a bit clean up so i ditched the rolls , I re-lathered and completed a full pass XTG.
I then completed an ATG pass with the Model T to give a BBS result.
Shame really. I have had a go putting the blade on the hone (25 laps done slowly and deliberately) and Strop (50 laps) Hopefully this will improve the shave the next time.
A very nice post shave leaving me soft, supple and smelling top drawer.
I still enjoyed the shave as i have learned something from it.
Stay safe and enjoy your Sunday All.
Happy Birthday Arthur
@Electrif i hope you have a wonderful day.
