BBS in 2.5 passes but it wasn't enjoyable (it could sense my fear).

Thursday evening

Merkur Progress XL on 3
Laser Ultra
Semogue SOC boar
wilkinson Sword blue tub soap
Aqua Velva

Just needed a blade for one shave so diped in to the one blade basket and pulled out a laser Ultra. Still not the smoothest shave but have to say it was closer than last time I used one and no irritation at all, in fact the shave was pretty good and finished very nicely by the Aqua Velva.

Still not sure I would look at the blade for a second shave but fair dos it went quite well last night. I'm pleasantly surprised.
