Wednesday
Wife is out, kids are out, its raining out, pink floyd is playing so thought I would have another go with the shavette
Dovo Shavette
Dovo Blade
Proraso (Green) shave cream
Crema 3P - sample from

Simpsons Beaufort B1 - PB
Large Spyptic Pencil
OK, the 3P says its pre and post shave moisteriser, so I did my normal face prep, ie a hot flannel and then massaged some in. impressed with the smell and and how my skin felt as its going on - nice little tingles
First time with the Proraso cream (came in the pif), created a wonderful lather in a bowl, same kind of scent as the 3P but tbh I prefered the 3p over the proraso
The B1 also had its first outting today, lovley little brush, nice back bone, maybe a little scratchy but gave a good massage as I was working the lather in
2 Passes, 1st WTG, 2nd what ever I felt was needed, really took my time as a new blade again, SUCCESS my very first shavette shave with no major arteries severed or mass flaps of skin hanging from my face, only one small nick/weeper, caused when buffing a little missed patch in the middle of my cheek :roll: - nearly did it with no blood
Used the pencil on this nick - didnt give me the sting of my old pencils
seems to be more talc that alum, BUT soon stopped the bleed, used an alum block on the rest of my face for my trickly tingles, dont get as many with the shavette as I do with a DE or SE razor.
all done, dried so put some more 3P on - a little goes a long way, and I used a bit to much so had so rub it in a little longer than I should have. Shin feels great, nice a moisterised although the cheeks do feel a little different, this could be menthol shock, or could just be down to the fact I haven't used a balm/AS as yet? will give it a little while longer if not settled will have a splash see what happens, just don't think I have anything that will go with the menthol scent.
All in all pretty good
Sorry for the waffle - I'm good at that
