TFI Friday shave - and what a belter
Wow, and I mean Wow, I forgot how good the AS-D2 is, this is how a shave should go, superbly comfortable, smooth and efficient.
After 6 month back into traditional wet shaving I have my 1st DE keeper. After yesterdays precarious shave with the Dart, today's shave was awesome in comparison.
With the same lather & the AS-D2 fitted with a 3 shave old Astra SP ( I had to check I had a blade in it after the first couple of strokes, the stubble filled water was a giveaway) I was beaming.
I know I had a super close shave yesterday although I always feel "when's it going to bite" I just don't think it is suited to my face or stubble, it probably needs heavier stubble to come into its own. I will try some other blades before it goes on the back shelf which is a shame as it looks much better than the Feather.
Today after the 1st pass WTG = DFS, 2nd Pass XTG/ATG mix = BBS - easy.
Nothing from the block, a lovely post shave routine with the Bart's and JPG EDP leaving me soft, supple, smelling top drawer and with a massive smile on my face. I have a DE Razor.
Have a Fantastic Friday Night All
