Well what a road to get here. After the wifes "accident" with my razor stash (see "Razor Aid" below) I was forced to continue with a "Fusion" razor (the shame) until the Astras I ordered arrived from eastern europe.
Brianpilman (of this fine forum) came to my rescue with a care package of Gillette Goal and 365's blades through the post. Work and homelife stepped in and stopped the shave until today (had quite a growth by then) and with Merkur Futur in hand (best place for it really) had a really excellent shave with a Gillette Goal blade.
The Gillette Goal is a bit of a dark horse blade, not getting much attention I think. Smooth and forgiving (days of growth helped) but overall very pleased and very much appreciated Aid in this time of need.
Finished with Profs Universal Balsam and his Sandalwood aftershave
Great to be back, I'm off to throw the Fusion into fiery pits of Mount Doom all Lord Of The Rings style.
