I was going to wait for the weekend to try my new razor out but just couldn't wait! Not used an adjustable before so thought I'd dial in 3 for the WTG pass, 2 for XTG and 1 for the ATG pass.

I was amazed at the audible feedback from the razor, really nice. I didn't have any real problems with the size of the head and had no issues at all getting under my nose area. The only thing I will say about the head is when you're focused on using just a small part of it for a tricky area to tend to forget about the other end is flailing about!

I think 3 was a little over ambitious, 2 would have been smoother and I'm a little sore but not painfully so. 1 for the ATG pass was a lot smoother than the EJ89L or Tech.

It's a close shave and now I have 3 razors to rotate, 4 once the GEM SE blades arrive for my 1912!

It's Friday Eve folks!
 
Morning all
Maca Root Body Shop cream
Muhle R41
Semogue 820
Gillette silver blue(#1)
Proraso a/s & balm
First time with the Maca Root, as creams go, this is very good. Pleasant scent, thick lather & very slick, no doubt about that. No sting at all from the a/s so protection obviously good too. Two passes all done!
Have a smashing day!20160929_082707.jpg
