Soap: Prof Blighty's Sandalwood
Brush: Vie-Long
Razor: Gillette Slim Adjustable (set to 3)
Blade: Gillette 7 O'clock Yellow.
Post: Alum, Nivea balm.
First time with the adjustable, incredibly close shave but some irritation which is down to the new learning curve and poor technique and also one nick under my nose which I think was caused by the end of the blade. I maybe was applying too much pressure. Also I don't usually shave every day as my beard grows so slow, so this being the second straight day of shaving probably didn't help.
Having a break tomorrow to let things settle then will try again Saturday morning. I am happy with the result but could do better.

Just a thought Jim. I find the Slim very mild and usually have it on quite a high setting of 7. Maybe setting a low value of 3 has made you apply too much pressure in order to cut properly. Try increasing the setting and that might allow you use less pressure.
Think it's just a case of experimenting to find your setting.
Shave on.
