Another shave today. Had to give the Kent (Mitchell's Wool Fat) shaving soap a go.
No problems lathering despite my hard water. Sticking it in hot water for a few minutes, draining off the excess water then lathering slowly. Benefits from using less water; produces a very rich lather from a small amount. Love the fresh, clean smell and no allergies noticed (yet) from the lanolin. Face doesn't feel dry. I did my research on this soap and have been meaning to try it for about two years!

Schick M-type adjustable on 2 with Gillette Platinum Plus blade (third use)
The blade has been sitting in the injector for a while and isn't that sharp now.

Tomorrow, the Shavex cream...
