SOTD: Saturday 16th February - Friday 22nd February 2019.

Thursday 21st February

YaqI 24mm Finest
Squadron Red Lead
Ikon 102/PermaSharp + Ikon 101 GSB
L'oreal Birch Sap Balm

PermaSharp blade tugging on first pass, so went with the 101 for second pass, as it was at hand - same poor performance.
Not a comfortable shave, neither a good finish as a result.
Lesson learned . . . Don't push GSB or PermaSharp beyond three uses in future.

Whilst I enjoy Shaving with other AC/SE razors, the ATT SE1 is the one that seems to suit me best. I have a Strong beard and need to Shave daily and with the ATT1 I get smooth and comfortable Shaves with a great close finish. I am quite amazed at how well the shave has lasted through the Day with a blade on its 11th outing.
My write up a tad late as we went to London and back , I do not envy those who do that as a Daily commute just glad that my journeys to work were never more than 25mins.
