Absolute brilliant shave today,
Everything about it was class.
I love these blades

Very nice shave this evening last one on the AOS TI before a change tomorrow.. the Wickhams I have the balm for too but find it pairs nicely with the zingari No1 also ! Weather has been a bit cooler today and after being stood out in the rain changing the coil pack and spark plugs on the car I decided to go with a nice warm water shave. Feeling nicely refreshed and super smooth !

A great new scent, reminded me of Italian cakes with dried fruit in it. It’s a scent of visiting my family in Italy and celebrating. I love it!

3 passes for something inbetween DFS and BBS. Was playing around with angles a bit (since my hair is really coarse) and overdid it with shallowness on the neck - left me with quite a bit of redness and slight blood marks on razor, despite no weepers showing up. Think I went a bit too shallow there in trying to get the razor to cut the hair bit more easily. Lesson learnt.

Lancaster towels are amazing - definitely worth getting one or two. soft, absorbent and just overall they feel amazing - great to clean off the straight too ( or hands when they get wet and so water doesn't go in pivot pin).

Overall a good shave!
