Better but not by much. I thought actually having something worth shaving off might help - it did, but not by much. I don't know if ATT has changed the coating on their razors? This one wants to grab and not glide, constantly threatening to skip. Consequently I'm not comfortable and having to pay complete attention with every stroke. Which is not what I am used to - shaving is pretty much automatic/muscle-memory guided normally for me. In fairness I will try with a completely different type of blade to rule that aspect out. Sometimes you just don't get on with a razor. Cheers - I.
Nobody has been more surprised than me to be honest. On paper it's a no-brainer or ought to be. - I.I think a different blade will work wonders I. I was genuinely convinced you'd enjoy that razor.
The Nodachi is a revelation - blade feel is mild, but efficiency is anything but. This fine piece of engineering shaves you very close indeed
Switch blades, Techs don't shave rough.A low key one today.
Wash with La Toja Magno and hot towel.
Semogue 820 with Ach Brito Lavanda out of a tube. I hid my toothbrush to make sure I didn't load that with Lavanda too!
Brand new Voskhod in my little ball end Tech.
You can't go far wrong with a Tech, and there was no blood or drama as you'd expect. Despite decent prep and only 24h growth it felt a tad rough. Not sure whether to blame the cream (first time I've used it) or the blade (previous experience with Voskhod has been better, but more likely to be blade than cream I think). Maybe it's me...
Anyway a few drops of Bio oil and some X-Bolt made it all comfy and smooth (weirdly I actually wanted X-Bolt today even though I don't like it and am just using it up. I just fancied something light, citrus but not as sweet as Álvarez Gómez AdC. I probably should have gone with Benjamin's blue Bay rum in hindsight).View attachment 89874
