SOTD : Saturday 24th October to Friday 30th October 2020.

Fat Friday
Pre - Shower / Face wash
Soap - MWF
Brush - New Forest
Razor - Merkur 34G
Blade - Treet Platinum (1)
Post - Old Spice AS followed with Moisturiser.

I had to re make my lather this morning. First go wasn't great. I'd added the water to quickly. Second batch better. MWF is easier to lather with a synth brush than badger I've discovered. Shave was eventually a good one.
 
28 October 2020 – afternoon.

I opened a pack of Feather blades and for a challenge have a very careful shave ...
Started well but then I managed to cut myself just left of the nose corner, and it was a nicely bleeding cut of about 3mm no way of stopping it there and then. These blades don't take prisoners Just pressed on with completing the shave three passes which actually went quite well, with blood dripping into the sink!. It definitely was a bit of carelessness. Couldn't stop the bleeding with cold water or alum, so put on a small piece of band aid. Later treated with alum and Sudocrem and it's now down to a smallish red spot, thankfully.
So even if you think you have mastered DE shaving it can still go wrong.
