Well after my "break out" (tune "freak out" in my head now) I have been off shaving due to painful chin area. Shaved this morning with a 2 x WTG and quite pleased as I feel fresh and clean.

Now for a coffee or three......
 
Shower and Facial Wash
Proraso White Pre-Shave
Proraso White Cream
Merkur 38C Barber Pole with mint Super Max Blade
Vulfix Super Badger
Osma Alum Bloc
Superdrug Witch Hazel
Trumpers Extract of Lime Skin Food
​

1 x ATG
2 x WTG

Still finding jaw line a challenge, but generally a good shave, skin feels nice and fresh.

All in all loving the DE shaving experience. I'm hooked.

Have a great day everyone​

Wednesday Morning

Testing out the Stahly head again today, this time with a sharper blade to see if that gives me any improvement.

Prep: Hot Shower
Cream: TOBS Jermyn Street
Brush: New Forest Super Badger
Razor: UFO2 handle with Stahly head.
Blade: Feather
Cologne: TOBS Jermyn Street

This is definitely better with a Feather blade, but it still didn't really work for me, I probably have the wrong angle, but I think I'll give up trying as I have plenty of razors that do work fine. It's on it's way to majortom today.
