Success! well sort of.
A much better effort today, the Feather blade much better, although, a lot sharper and a bit more respect needed.
I face lathered today and made sure the whiskers got roughed up a bit.
The First pass was good, WTG, the whisker laden soap proof that i was doing something right, i did pick up the tiniest of nicks on my chin, when i popped on the Nix Stick the tiny bit of claret stopped.
2nd pass XTG was fine until i did under my chin where i picked up a small graze, no big deal, i was sort of expecting something. I need to suss out a better angle with this unforgiving Feather.
The 2 passes gave me a very passable DFS finish.
I completed an ATG buffing pass with the Muhle which has left me BBS. Some indication from the block, mainly under the chin,
I added the Barts Balm to the post shave routine because of the 2 issues i had.
So, a mostly very comfortable, soft face and smelling pretty good.
I am quite chuffed with that effort.
Have a great Day All.
