Post: Pitralon Classic aftershave
First time using MWF and I'm very impressed.
I watched a couple of YouTube videos in preparation for using it tonight and it performed without issue.
Another razor on loan from James AKA
@Acer89
This is the second Timeless razor I've had on loan. The first was very kindly sent by Paul AKA
@Lann . He sent me the OC baseplates in both blade gaps. I couldn't get on with either plate and found them rough.
James has sent me the scalloped base plates with both blade gaps too.Tonight I went with the 0.68 baseplate.
The balance and weight are great which makes it easy to manoeuvre. The handle is spot on too.
I did enjoy using it and found it smoother than the OC but it's left me tender in a couple of places on my neck. I would have liked a tad more efficiently but this was my first time with the razor so time will tell.
Post shave report: The MWF did leave my skin very soft and I was tempted not to use anything but after a few minutes I thought I best use something.
I should have used BBA balm, my go-to when I've had a rough shave. But for some unfathomable reason I went for the Pitralon, such is it's power over me.
I just bloody love the stuff.
This was a mistake. The feedback was...well how can I put it into words? Oh I've got it! "Yooooouuuu bastard!"
Thanks to James for the loan of the razor.
Cheers
Rob
