Hi all,
2nd shave today after a 2 year hiatus (with only around 6 months shaving back then). The first one using a vintage Wheat sheaf, which didn't go too badly, finishing off the chin area with a (sorry!) gillette. The shave today, with a Greaves & sons wedge, was not very nice at all (lather was a bit dry, too), but interestingly pulled out a shavette, which I forgot I had, and finished off quite nicely (and more confidently). Probably obvious to others (I've forgotten a lot over 2 years), but perhaps pointing to the sharpness of the razors, (compared with the shavette) dulled by sitting in the draw? Does this happen? I did strop both times (30 passes) and do realise it's going to be a few weeks before being back in the swing regards technique, prep etc..
Any thoughts?
Cheers,
KCC
