Wednesday Evening

MWF wash
OC Old Type (OT) & Super Thin (4)
ToBS Violet & Commodore X1
Alum
OS AS

Prefer to do my experimenting in the evenings or weekends, so this was the first whirl with the Commodore and it was nice, but didn't half hum when it was wet but 5 lather ups with palmolive took the edge off it. Brush did a grand job and am will sure will get better in time. First go with the Old Type too, which was my first OC shave, will use it again for the next few weeks - probably ;)

You'll probably find keeping a diary via SOTD will help you working out what works for you. I kept notes in a diary.
Also the small handle of the travel razor, probably helps you to apply less pressure. Don't try to vary too many variables while going through your blade sample pack, Tempting as it is.
