Wed 30th Jan
Stirling Syn 26 mm
Stirling Baker Street
ATT SE1
Schick Proline ( 10 )
Jaguar Prestige A/S lotion

My last 2 shaves have been quite poor, because I continued to use a blade after it first showed signs of not being up to scratch. I may well have damaged it when transporting it in my Travel kit.
After yesterday I was suffering from some neck irritation, so wanted a fuss free Shave. I chose to use an ATT SE1 which always delivers good Shaves, as was the case today. With an excellent lather the Shave was smooth and comfortable, and I was pleased that it really was nice and close all round. Next time a relatively fresh blade ceases to perform as expected it will be consigned to the bin.
