Wednesday's shave
Pre-shave - Shower, Wright's Cold Tar Soap, followed by warm water splash and Murdock Pre Shave Oil.
Soap - Wickham Soap Co. 1912 Club Cola Shaving.
Brush - Omega (011829) Boar.
Bowl - Little Wren Pottery.
Razor - Blackland Sabre-Gem L2.
Blade - GEM PTFE (day 4).
Post - Cold water splash, Myrsol After Shave Balsamic Water , followed by Ibiza-Aloe Aloe Vera Gel.
Fifth shave with the Sabre-GEM L2. A 2 pass WTG and XTG, face and WTG and XTG, neck.
Very good shave, very pleased, 2 passes on the neck with no redness or weepers - feels like I am getting there with the L2.
First use of the Wickam Club Cola Soap and the Myrsol After Shave Balsamic Water - both highly recommended from Iain at the Gentleman's Groom Room. Very pleased with both, amazing scents - loved the feel of the Myrsol Balsamic Water on my face, great way to finish off the shave.
For me, I think that the L2 needs the face to be highly lubricated, with water, to avoid post shave tightness - either that or the Gem is progressivly getting more forgiving after day 4?
The way my skin and stubble feel at the moment, I may only need a 1 pass shave with the L2, tomorrow.
All the best,
Chris
