Brilliant shave - decided to try what I have seen a number of people do - do 1 or 2 passes with a slightly aggressive setup then follow up with a buff pass with a relatively mild setup. Worked a charm - smooth and verging in no irritation - just the adams apple which is always a problem for myself! The ASB was £1 from poundland and is very good IMHO, but I did have to finish on some Tabac - just because I personally find it divine
On this great day for English cricket nice to follow Trueman.
Gave a rare run out to the monstrous Polo14. Crazy size but fun. Brings the unit cost per shave below £50. Jagger Chatsworth/Gillette Super Thin a great combination as is the Body Shop duo.

The C&E ended up discoloured from the stain/varnish used by whoever made the cheapo soap bowl I bought a few of off of eBay just after I started doing the wet shave thang.
... it also ended up giving me that ol' 'perfume burn' sensation I get from some products.
... so, it might be on the way out of my stash.[/list:u][/list:u][/list:u][/list:u]
Fortunately, the Phytos killed that perfume burn and the Skin Bracer made sure the embers were doused, but good!

Wring 2x. 2min15. 2 pass. Dried within seconds. Rework 1st. Sans moisturiser.
This was no different from before perhaps I should add more dollop as I did last time to yield at least 3 pass. However this was remaining sample my buddy had given me.
