Friday PM

Hot flannel
Merkur HD
Crystal Platinum (3)
Kent BK2
Palmolive Classic cream, bowl-lathered
Boots witch hazel
Nivea Sensitive ASB

3 passes: WTG, XTG, XTG

Result: Disappointing, SAS but still rather too much stubble left for my liking.

This morning, when my dad said he was going to Tesco to get my grandmother some more Guinness (don't ask LOL), I recalled that they sold the Palmolive cream, so I asked him to get me a tube to try. I'm going to post a review in the existing appropriate thread, but, suffice it to say, my first experience of it hasn't been very promising. :( It may have been to do with my prep not being as thorough as normal - at first I was just going to practice making lather with it prior to shaving tomorrow morning, but decided at the last minute to shave there and then. I expected slightly sub-par results due to this, but not as much dragging and tugging as I got. :?

Hopefully tomorrow I will have my strop. This stropping on newspaper is all very well but it doesn't bring up the edge like one of Neils' nice strops! :?
