It's been a while since I posted my initial shave attempts. Today with WTG and XTG managed a Socially Acceptable Shave with a Thiers-Issard Spartacus 6/8, ColC Lime glycerin and Neutrogena Shave Cream. No weepers or nicks and only used a bit of Alum. No sharppangs, so finally finished with a bit of Pinaud Clubman.
Next test with be with full ATG. Don't think I will try just yet.
