I don't usually apply a strong a/s straight after any wet shave, but today I thought I'd give it a shot. Got a nice sting, but it settled within a few seconds, far quicker than it ever did shaving with a Quattro/Mach3.

The Cien hair conditioner is an inexpensive hair conditioner that I picked up in Lidl's, a German supermarket chain. It is quite thick compared to some conditioners and gave a nice "slick" covering underneath the lather and didn't give any irritation. For less than 90p a bottle, this stuff is a good addition to "the cabinet".

The best shave so far. Just got the Bismark from classicshaving by way of Lynn to hone and it was awesome (thanks Lynn, wonderfully sharp, smooth shave). BBS smooth on the cheeks, still working out some issues on getting the neck to BBS but no razor burn, no nicks, just beautiful.

You always make it look so good, Richard. A nice foamy Kent in the Moss scuttle, the japanese style feather waiting by on the C&E Sandalwood bowl ....
You just know it's gonna be good.

It WAS good! I enjoy a traditional straight shave, but nothing cleans up my chin like the Feather. I somehow feel like I am cheating though...
