SOTD : Saturday 18th April to Friday 24th April 2020

Just squeezed in a quick shave Friday evening ....
This time inspired by a video I watched on "budget shaving". The guy basically got the cheapest gear available from a supermarket, cartridge razor pack, shave gel and ASL all for about four Dollars! Can you get a decent shave from that? The author is actually a DE afficionado, and he did.
Anyway, that reminded me I have some BIC 2 blade razors in the toiletries draw. So let's have a go. I basically swapped the DE for the BIC2 but used my normal approach for wet shaving. Notably the plastic BIC is very light, less than 10(?) grams so real pressure had to be applied, compared to a DE. But I must say it was a near perfect result, with three passes and no nicks or irritation. So it is possible to have a decent shave at a budget.
I will stick with my usual approach of course but this is another one to have in reserve in case you are away or of financial hardship.
