Re: RE: SOTD 22nd to 28th October 2011
This morning, again without pressure of time (halfterm ftw), away from home:
Feather Artist Club RG folding straight
Feather Pro-Guard blade (3)
La Toja stick
Vulfix 404 mix
Trumper's Limes skin food
Two passes. Face down and left (ATG), totally clean. Neck up and diagonally down-left, varying depending on achievable angles, very acceptable (would have been content with a DE three-pass for this result). Reopened the worst of yesterday's cuts slightly, but no soreness or drama. Very happy. Delighted, in fact.
I'll take a break tomorrow to let my nicks heal. I'm hopeful that by Tuesday next week I'll have it together enough that a ten-minute-earlier alarm will let me make this an every-day proposition.
Today I just wiped the blade clean on a cloth between strokes, using almost no water on it. I think this may be the way forward.
