Wednesday morning shave. This marks the end of my first week of DE shaving and I am getting a bit better I think (though still have far to go).
Two WTG passes and then (against Mantic's advice again - he'd be cursing) one ATG pass resulted in an excellent shave, BBS though with one tiny patch not quite on my moustache area.
A few weepers (soon stopped with alum) and a tiny bit of rash on my neck but overall I am getting the smoothest, closest shaves of my life. Just need to figure out exactly when I need to change the blade. Not sure it would stretch to 3 BBS shaves.
Prep: Hot water, flannel, Bulldog facial cleanser
Razor: Merkur 38C
Blade: Derby
Soap: Mitchells Wool Fat
Brush: New Forest 2221 (it's first use in anger, and the water down here is so soft it lathered the fat with no problem at all)
Post shave: Trumpers lime skin food, Professor Blighty Coconut AS
