Prep: Hot shower
Pre: Proraso pre-shave - sensitive
Soap: Boot's Stick
Brush: MÜHLE Kosmo silvertip synthetic
Razor: Gillette Guard
After: Superdrug Sierran Breeze AS, Every Man Jack ASB
Testing out my new Gillette Guard cartridge razor. Very peculiar feeling having to apply so much pressure to the thing to get a good scrape. It was very speedy to use and a decent feel to it. Did my usual three passes (it's a single blade cartridge) and resulted in a very good DFS; almost a BBS. Skin did look a little red afterwards which could have been because I used too much pressure but that calmed down soon after.
So I'd say a success if you can't travel with a DE razor but nowhere near as satisfying compared to a DE.
Jeez, the number of times I've dropped this Boot's stick! Instinct is to pick it up by the tube in which case the bottom drops off and bounces round the bathroom picking up every hair and piece of dust from the floor!
Good day, gents.
