Does the beard settle to a particular combination of razor, blade and lubricant? I am beginning to think so.
For over a year I used a Slant with Swedes and Palmolive Cream or my own mix of Palmolive Shave Stick and Wilkinson Blue tub soap grated, mixed together and pressed into a bowl. That produces a very similar lather to the cream.
When I ran out of Swedes I used the Feathers I had in stock - they were as sharp but rather harder on the face.
I have been experimenting with Iridiums and Yellow 7 O'Clocks. That combination gets better with every day.
Does anyone else think the beard settles to a particular combination?
