Maiden Shave with the Paradigm ! Smooth as Silk will try the Polsilver tomorrow as the Gillette Yellow I tried today didn't seem quite right for this razor. It was a nice shave but think it will prefer a different blade.

Today's shave theme is the colour orange.
I looked forward to today's shave following the epic shave on Tuesday. The theme called for the Amber Fougere. The last time I used this soap, I ended up with razor burn as I let the lather become over-hydrated by my ATG pass. I was bowl lathering on that occasion. Today I face lathered and recognised the need to go back to the cake before the third pass. I struggled to get the slickness of the soap back so I refrained from touching areas up. The soap smells so good but I think it may best be used with boar brushes.
Passes 1 and 2 were very comfortable and the Yaqi and 7 O'c combination proved themselves a suited pair once again. I'm out for a beer and a curry tonight and the shave is more than acceptable for this social event.
I'm now off work until 24th June so my weekend starts here. Enjoy your shaves all!
