WOW!! Didn't realised the Feather blade cut like pure butter with the Gillette Ball Tech with only 2 pass shave WTG & XTG like magic .......I've been so bloody blind and I should've got a Ball Tech 3 years ago when I started wet shaving

Beautiful handle on that 1914.
 
Greetings All,

Monday shave.

Two days' growth and warm shave

Preparation – face washed with Clique Liquid facial soap (mild)

Pre: None
Soap: TOBS Sandalwood shaving cream
Razor: Merkur 37C
Blade: Pol Silver (2nd)
Brush: RazoRock 400 Noir

Post Shave: Cold water rinse, followed by Alum, then a shower and to conclude Proraso aftershave lotion (red) and Nivea 2 Phase.

3 passes (WTG, XTG and ATG), and again, not using the pre-shave even with the Merkur 37c has left me bemused as (OK had a few weepers, again due to over doing my touch ups) I have finished up very smooth. The alum gave a momentary burn, but nothing like before and I seem to be getting more audio feedback which is helping my shave. Ow, and still loving the Polsilver blade - up there with the Sharks for me.

I will leave the Proraso pre-shaves out our my routine for the foreseeable future and concentrate on perfecting my lathers.
 
The right blade for the Supply SE is essential. I have a tough beard, and find I can only get a decent Shave with a Schick Proline Type B.
