Soap: Cella
Post: Alum Block, Cold water and Thayers unscented
AS: 4711 + Nivea Replenishing Balm
Yesterday's shave with the Fatip Piccolo + Gillette Platinum must have been better than I thought as there seemed to be less growth than usual after 24 hours. This is my third shave with a Personna blade in the L1 and while it did not have much work to do, I definitely got a better shave than before with this blade. Do they get a bit better after a few uses? Before I said I might give up on the Personna blades when compared to the Chinese Shick blades but this shave was smooth, close and irritation free. The last two shaves with this blade were both with NSS Old Grey Bristle Test Soap, could it be that using Cella made a difference? Who knows, I will shave with this blade again with both soaps again.
