Greetings,

I've had to do a weekend shift at the mill,due to my shift pattern. Needs must unfortunately....

A new shave set up to start the weekend..the dorco st300/merkur 37c slant matched together wonderfully, the dorco blade isn't the most aggressive blade, but i find them very smooth and forgiving..My aim with every shave isn't to get a BBS, it's to good a dfs with no irritation, today the dorco blade paired together with my much loved 37c slant gave me a very comfortable irritation-free 3 pass shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with some generous dollop of ~ L'OREAL ~ Soothing Birch Sap Post Shave Balm.

My face is feeling smooth & smelling devine.;)

Sat 6th Oct.

Omega 11126 boar
P & B Pall Mall
ATT SE-G
Gem S/S [ 2 ]
Floid Vigoroso A/S Lotion

My second Shave with the revamped ATT SE-G so on a learning curve to get the angles right. With the altered base plate it Shaves very smoothly and is quite efficient and forgiving. I made a better job than yesterday when working around the neck so the overall finish was very good. I did note that actual Shave time was similar to that
taken with most of my Vintage SE`s.
I am finding that thanks to the work of Paul @Blademonkey, this revitalised Razor is coping well with my rather tough growth.
