So been meaning to do a quick write up on this recently, Max sent me a shavette to try as I thought it would be a good transition to a Straight on a budget after not finding anyone who would hone my straight .
So first shave went bad... Not many cuts but I failed to stretch my skin well etc so ended up with a terrible shave.
Had my second shave today, using Sunbury's Lime soap and honestly closest shave I have ever had, I got the angle spot on which I was surprised with compared to last time, the stretching of the skin made massive differences, and honestly post shave I had no pain, dryness etc of skin that even with DE I get a little, I actually forgot to put on ASB or AS as I couldn't feel a thing wrong.
The actual shave from two passes WTG feels like when I do a full 3 pass with my DE but actually a little closer, okay I missed a few patches under jaw etc but really happy with shave.
So if all goes well few more shaves, might tempt me into a straight purchase (shave ready this time )
