Something didnt agree with me think it may be the balm as I have developed a rash on the neck. Will have to go through my previous posts to see the last rash I had and what was the common denominator.....

Woke up this morining with about 6 tiny pimples in the gamma quadrant (corner of your mouth - left handside - 2" down - BINGO!). Will take ages now for those marks to die away - the bastards! :evil:

Following the arrival of some stuffs via my sister, from back in the old country (IE: Canadialand), I opted for as Canuckish a Shave of the Evening as I could ...- ... please, feel free to let me know if you have (or know of) a Canadian-made shaver quality or better, DE razor for budget-sale-price or trade.

Merkur Slant 37c
Voskhod
TOBS Lemon & Lime cream
Vulfix 404 bodger
Bulldog asb
The whiskers never stood a chance. The Slant + Voskhod sliced them through with the assured precision of a ninja assassin. With a score to settle.

Cold water shave
T&H Pre-shave Oil
Feather AS-D1
Feather (4)
NF HMB 2221
L'Occitane Cade Soap
WTG - XTG - XTG + touch ups
Superdrug WH
Trumper Sandalwood Skin Food
Aramis AS
Actually felt the blade losing its edge through this shave, it got less smooth, and by the touch ups was beginning to irritate my neck. Still did a job though, but I won't be pushing the Feather blades past 3 shaves in future.

After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:
vintage Marshall Fields badger
Stahly/Iridium
AOS lemon SC
Lucky Tiger AS and Face Tonic
Roger and Gallet L'homme' 'Sport' EdT
Third time using the clunky old Stahly, and this shave was the best. Heh, I was gonna try it with the vibrating feature again, but it's stuck. Heh, nothing lasts forever I guess. I went ahead and shaved with it like a normal razor, as I did yesterday.
I gotta say, this head design is really delightful. It's on the mild side (which I like), and it feels great on my face. Reminds me of a Tech, except I like this head even better. Took me a few time to get comfortable using a razor this heavy and with such an odd balance, but smooth sailing now.
I'm glad to have tried this thing, and will be using it again in the future.
BBS results,

Worse shave to date with a DE.
Mama Bears Creme Brulee
Milk Churn
Gillette Tech
Bolzano Superinox :evil:
Real Shaving Balm
4711 Ice
Lather was great but, Bolzano not so great. I have tried a couple of these but just don't seem to get on with them. Still a newbie and it's been going great, today though I got a nasty nip of one of these. So they have been PIF'd on.
All the other blades I have tried have been fine, but these just don't seem to work for me. I gave in after the second pass and switched to a Gillette Bleu. But only used it for a light third pass as face feeling a slight bit sore.
End of the day it's just one bad shave against the many great ones !!!
