Friday 5th October PM
Pre-shave:- warm rinse and Proraso Red Pre Shave cream
Brush:- The Executive Shaving Company Medium Jock Synthetic
Soap/Cream:- Wickham Buddha Wood soap
Razor/Blade:- Gillette Tech/Gillette 7 O'clock green (2)
Post-shave:- Thayers Witch Hazel Cucumber then Brute aftershave followed by Nivea Sensitive aftershave balm.
I had 2 days growth which was quite obvious, so I was looking forward to this shave. I started with my usual prep routine then chose the Tech as the razor to do the business. Again, I stuck with the 7 O'clock green blade, now on its 2nd outing.
The Wickham Buddha Wood soap was effortless with a wet brush. I went with a 3 pass shave, this time only using buffing east to west on my neck when it came to my 3rd and final ATG pass.
The shave went reasonably well though overall it just didn't seem as close as normal. Yes, acceptable but just not as close as normal. Finishing up I was happy but in the next few hours, and certainly this morning, my stubble was heavy.
I'm confident it's my technique but I'm just wondering if a heavier weighted razor suits me best.
Overall I was happy with the standard, especially as the Tech is now my travel razor.
Have a good one folks!
