Hadn't been too impressed with the Merkur 25C and Astra SP blade finding it too mild and just unexciting. Went back to the Progress for a while to give it a rest.
Tried the 25C again today with another blade, Shark, from my sample pack. Much better performance and closer, easier shave. This shaving malarkey is weird.
Connaught supplied the 25C with Treet Platinum blades, maybe I should be using them. Are blades supplied with razors supposed to match or just random?
Tried Tabac soap stick yesterday, as it's always raved about here, and although it's pretty good, comparing it against La Toja stick today I think I prefer La Toja. Very easy to create lather and great holder for travelling. Tabac's a monster to carry around.
Result: BBS and even very little irritation on neck even AGT.
