Today after a couple of weeks with a DE i think ive cracked it, good hot shower used proraso pre/after cream, I then tried out my new la toja shqve stick(bought for traveling) face lathered it and let rip with my murkur futur loaded with a new feather blade(first time for that too). I only need 2 passes for my 3-4 days growth with the odd touch up where missed bits finished with proraso balm silky smooth im over the moon with this combo. Im just putting it all together for my offshore trip tomorrow i think I'll need a bigger bag :lol:
