Friday
Brush: EJ Black badger
Razor: Merkur 34C HD
Blade: Derby (2nd shave)
Cream: DR Harris rose (sample courtesy of RB73 - big shout out to you dude! Thanks!)
Prep: Hot shower.
Observations: First time I've used proper shaving cream, boy did it whip up a fantastic lather - best lather yet! better than the ToOBS sandalwood soap I've got. It was thick, creamy, like whipped cream just from the youtube vids :lol:
Shave: WTG, 2x XTG. Touch up's on the 'tache and jawline.
Razor glided over my face, it was lovely, no nicks - not as close a shave as I've observed with the Astra's, but that's all part of the learning curve isn't it?
Used Nivea sensitive aftershave balm. Only had to use styptic pencil on a couple of areas on my neck.
AWESOME SHAVE.
Felt good, nice very very subtle fragarance.
... in fact it was so good I've just done another one, amusing the kids by lathering up my face and putting some on their chins too. So shave #2 today!!!!
Thanks to RB73!
