SOTD : Saturday 24th October to Friday 30th October 2020.

Fat Friday
Pre - Shower / Face wash
Soap - MWF
Brush - New Forest
Razor - Merkur 34G
Blade - Treet Platinum (1)
Post - Old Spice AS followed with Moisturiser.

I had to re make my lather this morning. First go wasn't great. I'd added the water to quickly. Second batch better. MWF is easier to lather with a synth brush than badger I've discovered. Shave was eventually a good one.
 
28 October 2020 – afternoon.

I opened a pack of Feather blades and for a challenge have a very careful shave ...
Started well but then I managed to cut myself just left of the nose corner, and it was a nicely bleeding cut of about 3mm no way of stopping it there and then. These blades don't take prisoners ;) Just pressed on with completing the shave three passes which actually went quite well, with blood dripping into the sink!. It definitely was a bit of carelessness. Couldn't stop the bleeding with cold water or alum, so put on a small piece of band aid. Later treated with alum and Sudocrem and it's now down to a smallish red spot, thankfully.
So even if you think you have mastered DE shaving it can still go wrong.
