After an afternoon visit, coffee and a chat with Sm304, with a bit of swapping of soap, blades creams etc the conversation came around to what people on the Forum use.
Martin's ears may have burned, as would Fido's... Inspired and enabled by Sm304 (who kindly gave me a bottle of Myrsol, loads of Thayers samples, a nice large "sample" of Floid aftershave and a loan of a Aristocrat #16? I used a razor I have owned for ages, but never used before...
Monday
Prep: Run, hot shower
Razor: Steel Gillette Tech head on Webber classic handle
Blade:Israeli Personna (Tesco) (2)
Brush: Simpson Duke 3 Best
Soap: MdC face lathered.
A/S:Floid "The Genuine"
The Tech surprised me, I shave at least 6 days in a row when working and this head could me the answer to my prayers. I get on with most razors (iKon OCC excepted) but most irritate me after a week.
I think I have hit another milestone in my shaving career and realised a "Good" shave does not involve BBS at all costs. The Tech has left me with a no fuss, comfortable DFS. Last week I would have touched up around the jaw and lower neck but extreme comfort over extreme BBS is my new Mantra!
Cheers Scott for the freebies, and Fido, I should have listened to you 27 razors ago
Still, it is nice to have choice. Have a great evening chaps...
