Having experienced the least expensive shave last night, it was commented upon by SWMBO that I had a noticeable shadow when I got home from work today. I must admit that I did feel a bit Desperate Dan-ish.
Up to the bathroom and the weapon of choice jumped out. The Gillette Fatboy (on borrowed time with the PIF) which still had the Gillette Silver Blue blade.
A quick rinse and wash with Nivea face wash followed with a liberal amount of Proraso Sensitive pre shave.
Using my new lathering bowl I threw in a dot of ES Natural cream and lathered up with a wet brush. This bowl makes lathering absolutely effortless now, with a good creamy consistency reached in less than a minute. A touch more water and I was off.
Pass 1 WTG and the razor on setting 4. The glide was great with no drag. Just smooth.
Pass 2 XTG keeping the razor on setting 4. This time I really pushed by chin upwards stretching my neck. This seemed to make a positive difference with a noticeable amount of stubble present in the lather on the razor.
Pass 3 ATG keeping the setting at 4. No complaints and a BBS finish.
Rinse, Thayers and splatter of Proraso Aftershave balm. Done. A nice fresh and soothing shave which was a huge improvement on last night. Far more enjoyable and a more relaxing finish.
The Fatboy will be moving on soon and I'm defo going to miss it. It's a fantastic razor. I'll keep my eyes open for any bargains that may appear in the BST.
Have a great night folks. [emoji1360]
