IMG_1123.jpg Sunday Shave.
Had a busy day yesterday, went to London !!, which is a rare venture for us. Did manage a not too bad Shave, pushed the NOS Swedish Schick Blade to its 10th use. The Shave was surprisingly smooth and comfortable though I felt the blade performance tailing off a bit, the Supply SE provided more than acceptable finish

Stirling Synthetic 26mm
MWF
Schick Type N3
Schick Twin S/S [ 4 - Japan]
Alum Rub/Rinse off
Tabac A/S Lotion

After a few days of Shaving with modern SE razors, reverted to shaving with a fairly new acquisition the Schick Type N3. Am finding that when equipped with a Twin Blade it has to be my favourite Schick , as it shaves both smoothly and efficiently and the finish is up there with those gained by me from the modern General & Supply Razors.

Getting a Type N was one of my best buys of 2016, and though it performs best with costly NOS/Modern Twin blades , I am fortunate enough to have got a few at reasonable cost. As It will be used fairly infrequently due to rotating razors , I am OK for a few years.

Just a single nick today and I'm wondering if this blade is dulling after only 4 shaves. If so it'll be an expensive way of shaving. Felt noticeably more irritation today compared to the last 3 shaves with this same razor/blade/soap combination. Maybe it was just one of those things - I'll give it another go tomorrow and see.

Happy Monday, everyone.

Very close, comfortable 2 pass shave.

'El Monstruo'+Angel's Share began what promised to be a stellar shave, only to be dashed by the Astra, which was past its prime, and provided a very unpleasant shave with the TR-1.
