SOTD 29/7/20
Razor - Merkur Progress
Blade- Gilette 7 o'clock
Soap- Stirling Iced Pineapple
Brush - Chubby2 Best
A/S - Nivea sensitive balm
New to me razor and @RussellR5555 very kindly popped in some extra blades so I got to work testing out the new toy....I was too eager.
Started on setting 4 for the WTG pass..all good and felt smooth but I didnt feel it was taking much off so I went up to setting 5 for the XTG pass...and it all went downhill from here.
Poor technique on my part and I should have stayed on that setting or went down but from here on in, I was on a recovery mission.
Down to setting 2 for the ATG pass but the damage was done. The alum block paid for itself tonight
Couldn't wait to get the nivea balm on to cool the razor burn.
If every single shave was perfect at this stage of my wet shaving journey, I'd be worried. Not be to deterred ill start on a lower setting tomorrow, possibly with a different blade and see how we go.
Happy Wednesday!
