Second shave, this evening. Same routine. However, I had much more growth; not shaved since my post about my first shave. Been both busy and ill.
So, as a result of the extra growth, I wasn't expecting as good a shave as last time. And I was right. Teach me to try to shave a light, but a bit more than designer stubble, beard. Obviously there was some tugging and a bit of razor burn, as I needed to go over my problem areas more than usual. Much more my fault than the razor; should have used my Star single edge, or knocked it down a touch with a very light touch from my Panasonic (has its uses if I have a shaky hands day ). Hard to give a verdict on this occasion, but the blade did feel much better, once the excess was removed. Next time, just a couple of days, as per the first shave.
Once my face had settled down, it was a DFS, bordering on a BBS, confirmed by my other half.
This post may be a bit disjointed, but that's chronic insomnia for you. :-/
