Wednesday evening
Prep : clinique face soap
Razor : Ikon Deluxe OC
Blade : Bolzano
Brush : Kent BLK12
Soap : Proraso Green tub
Post shave : Clinique soother
What a mess. the soap should have been Salter Mint cream but 4 attempts to lather with it and the Kent, 2 face and 2 bowl, resulted in either to heavy or too light a lather. Face felt very tight after these failed attempts so the Salter got dumped and a old favourite replaced it.
Got amazing lather with the Proraso but maybe a bit too frustrated and on the 3rd pass seemed toget it all wrong. No blood but bad irritation around the sides of my chin and around the adams apple.
I think this was my own fault and probably should have given it half an hour after the Salter frustration.
Not shaving tonight as I'm out for a few beers so a night for the face, which still feels a little sensitive, to recover.
Annoyed as i've been on a great run with the new brushes and razors recently and getting some of the best shaves I've ever had. Back to the drawing board I think.
