IMG_1752.jpegA surprising good shave tonight with a razor & blade iv never really got on with.
The CB always seems to be a hit or miss with me,
i never seem to have the same shave twice so i dialled this down to plate B,
something i wouldn’t normally consider.
Paired with a blade i haven’t been so keen on which is weird in itself as i know most of you like them, But tonight i hit the jackpot,
whether it was the B plate that’s done it or my habits are changing iv yet to find out,
Mind you i have around 3 very small weepers but as always i put that down to stupidity.
The Soap for me was a new one from the bst,
My first go with Tallow + Steel & definitely fancy a few more,
This one is quite complex with floral & citrus being the main notes for me.
Overall a 8/10 and a perfectly acceptable shave,
Stay Safe Everyone
