Derby Blade (no that's not a mistype)
EJ Badger Brush
Tabac Original Soap
Nivea ASB
Hot water applied to face, lathered up on face with the wonderful Tabac
then 3 passes all downward strokes, carefully avoiding going against the grain
and never going over the same area without re lathering.
And the result?
Fabulous, with not a nick or weeper in sight and no irritation whatsoever.
Applied Nivea ASB purely as a measure of good practise.
Many thanks for all your advice Gentlemen, it can be done.
Now where did I put those Personnas?
Woo Hooh!
