No 6 first pass on 5 days growth, mowed through it like a knife with butter, no 5 or 4.5 across the grain and 3 against the grain and pick ups. Perfect shave, I don’t know why I don’t use it more often. You should get one… ha!

You enabler you!

Thursday 11th June...

Got further today with the shavette and almost made a full pass. Made an attempt at under the nose and the chin area which was new. It's still fairly uneven to say the least but that's all I'd expect currently. The biggest thing is that I'm noticing that there are certain areas of the face that I can only get to by swapping to my left - non-dominant - hand so I've been working on that.

Finished off with the Merkur 34 which had a RK Pro Edge #2. The shavette had a Permasharp #2.

Enjoy your day...

Thursday 11 June
Waitrose Pure Glycerin
Noxzema Pre-Shave
Gillette Tech #77
Derby Usta
Zenith 205 NOCXSE
Arko Soap
Pinaud Citrus Musk
Arko Balm

I don't normally use pre-shave but need to use this Noxzema up as it's too thick as a post shave. Made for a very smooth shave.

Another go with the Natu and now second use Feather. Not too bad. I'm more able to go against the grain comfortably with the Natu than other razors but it feels rather inefficient so still not a super close result. Kind of finished the Spitfire sample - there's some left in a shaving bowl but got rid of the little pot now.
The Arko sensitive balm should pair nicely with my Dr Selby soap, being a bit lavender scented

this one I wasn't sure about when I first got it but it has grown on me. very light and nimble. the handle is aluminium but so is the baseplate so the balance works much better. love it.

I've used all my techs once this month now. I'm going to go back through them and leave the blade in for two shaves in a row.
