Shocker today! :icon_eek:

Face felt a bit tender as soon as I started lathering with the Ingrams and the brush felt scritchier than usual. Just couldn't seem to get close enough and ended up doing way too many touch ups after the usual three passes. Result: a big red, blotchly sore face and neck. No nicks but it got sore enough I had to go take some Ibuprofen pain killers!

Jeez, that don't sound good,

I was thinking maybe the new to you blade was a problem, which may be part of it. But man, it seems like the crap shave started right from the beginning. Could it be some kinda reaction to the shaving cream?

Well, how about trying an adjustable for a change and seeing what happens. I'm sending out something to you tomorrow anyway, and I'll put a super adjustable in the package to test drive. Maybe a different razor will help. Keep it a while and send it back.

I'll send you a message a little later.

After the usual 1-2 minute not towel prep:

vintage rebranded Simpsons best
UK #58/Schick Plus Platinum (NOS)
vintage RL Safari SS
Lucky Tiger AS and Face Tonic
Malizia 'Vetyver' EdT

Same razor/blade/soap combo as yesterday. This soap kinda reminds me of vintage Old Spice when it comes to lathering. The puck is on the soft side, which makes it easy to load up the brush. Very nice stuff.

BBS results,

Martin
