Hi
After lurking here and BadgerandBlade for a few weeks, I went ahead last weekend and purchased a EJ 86, some Trumpers Lime Soap, EJBest badger brush along with Alum block and blades from The GentlemansShop in Hungerford (i will be back !!).
First shave Sunday night and it was the best shave of my life (honest !) Had another go last night and not so good. The shave itself not as close and a few nicks on the neck. I know it could be a number of issues but is my post shave routine OK - warm rinse, cold rinse, rub with wet alum, cold rinse after a few minutes then a bit of after balm ? Have heard good things about witch hazel but am i over complicating ?
So many questions !!
Regards
Vince
