No prizes for guessing the colour theme of this shave! A comfortable shave with the nice smelling Nightwitch. Usual top P&B performance. I needed this good shave after the two I had with the ER 1912. The performance of the Shark was also a pleasant surprise in the 3one6, comfortably taking down 2.5 days of growth.

Everything is good in the Chin's household.
A very enjoyable shave with a wonderful finish.

Though yesterday's Shave with the Micromatic BT was pleasant enough with a decent finish,by early evening the stubble started to reappear. I used the original Micromatic today which is a more aggressive Razor, and perhaps better suited to dealing with my heavy growth.Provided it is used with care and a light touch, one is rewarded as I was today with an ultra close finish. This is a definite for my future ER/Gem rotations, as I intend not to use those which I find a bit too mild and do not give the closest of Shaves.
