Since throwing myself at the world according to SE I have been absolutely delighted with the results and it has been one of those things which makes me glad not to be bearded. Together with the collection of food they amass.
After very kindly receiving some blade samples from patw (clueless how to do the @someone which is rather fashionable I note) this was to be my big night and a blade other than a Kai Captain. In this case a Schick Proline being the choice of frontline working edge.
A disaster......
I am not going to harp on and on about OSP and butterscotch coloured brushes as they are old hat now..........but they are effing good. No problems here and they did what they are supposed to do and they did it well.
First razor stroke and 'Wow!' This ain't what I was expecting, it was worse and I mean full on worse. As the shave progressesed (or didn't) I was getting less and less impressed with the Prolines and it was only determination which saw things through to the end. A few weepers, a nick or two and irritation I thought I'd kissed goodbye to when I left the 5 bladed monster behind.
Thank God for styptic pencils, cold water and Cade aftershave balm.
Not too enthralled with my first time out with a Schick Proline and a neck you could strike matches on it was time to wrap up shop and the post post shave ritual of cleaning everything up. Wash the bowl down, rinse the brush through and take the razor apart to give it a hot clean and rinse. Taking the razor apart.......
Chink
And out fell two blades stuck together! How the F I'd managed this I have no idea but it certainly answered a lot of questions
I will now have to wait a few days to step back in to facing the Proline again and hopefully greater pleasures lie ahead.
I do bless my new purchase of Bulgari Man in Black for being the only reason to bring a smile to my otherwise Freddy Krueger face.
Back to work on the River Solent this afternoon and at least I don't have to walk around in the general public. I am ashamed in all respects
Duh!
I've heard of twin blades Chris but doubling up the Prolines is taking it to the extreme
Here's hoping for a better outcome using a single blade next time.
To do the @someone , press @ first followed by the persons name.
Indeed. The fool I am
Sorry if I've hit a sense of humour blind spot and you already know.After very kindly receiving some blade samples from patw (clueless how to do the @someone which is rather fashionable I note)...
