The TI came home from Scotland yesterday refreshed and sporting a new edge kindly put on by
@Fergiebilly, it arrived just after my shave, since then i have been "willing" my beard to grow faster so i could try it.
A lovely slick lather from the
@BrianH "Hibernia" soap and the Alpha TI.
I had been told the blade had taken a wonderful edge and it was now very sharp, therefore, i was a bit tentative.
The first stroke put my fears at rest, so damn smooth, i still payed the Razor and Edge total respect and completed 2 full WTG passes and finished with a XTG (Cheek to nose)/ATG (Neck up to jawline & chin) mixed pass.
No issues to report, i am hoping that i can get this down to 2 passes as my technique improves.
Result - a Comfortable DFS+ shave. I have started to use my Alum block again to point out where i need to improve. not a lot of indication today, just a little on the neck.
A wonderful post shave routine leaving me soft, supple and smelling top drawer.
I am Feeling really good about that shave.
A big thank you to Billy for the work done on my razor.
Stay safe and enjoy your day all.
