TUESDAY EVENING

Prep: Hot flannel & Prep cream
Razor: Aristocrat #16
Blade: Gillette Sharpedge (1)
Brush: Semogue LE 2012 2 boar
Shave soap: Nannys Nutmeg Spice - face lathered
Balm: Castle Forbes

Never used to really like these blades, but haven't used them for a while so gave them another run out.

I got a very close shave, but about five or six weepers that had to be closed with a styptic pencil.

For me, these are a bit rough on the first shave and much better on the next two. Same as last time then! I won't be buying any more!
