All,

The story continues

I've recently changed the blades to my shavette from Wilkinson and ordered some Derby blades which seem to have more rounded edges, this seems to have cured the problem of no end of nicks, I only had 1 nick last night which was my fault for losing concentration but other than that I had the best shave I've had to date. I think this is also down to an improving technique however the blades definitely helped.

I have also got a brush and soap now and I think that did help however I'm still in the market for a decent straigth razor
