A strange shave today,
A very good lather mixed up and plenty for the shave, it went on nicely and the scent again is very light but just noticeable, "old fashioned clean"
Again the Vintage blade just did not seem up to the job with the 1st pass WTG, although it was taking away the stubble, not smoothly though.
The second pass XTG it seemed to be a lot smoother and i thought the blade had settled, onto the ATG pass and it went back to struggling again, on my top lip, Chin and devils whirlpools it really struggled, not as much to pull though.
I stopped there with a decent finish. My cheeks and neck are silky smooth, however, my chin and trouble spot are not??
All forgiven with a nice post shave with the Floïd.
I ejected the Vintage blade to inspect it and to be honest i have thrown sharper blades in the bin, which is where the poor old dog lives now.
The next outing will be with a new blade.
Have a great day All
