Sunday Night

Basler Stainless Steel 5/8 Straight to start
Gillette slim twist with a Super Iridium blade to clean up
Vulfix 2235 brush and Erasmic Shavebowl soap
Alum
Witch Hazel
Boots Freshwood ASB
Aquatonic AS

The straight shave improved, just! I need to keep on practising, its still early days but it would be fair to say that I never expected the learning curve to be so steep. I think I need to work more on the skin stretching and blade angle and well everything really! But I got my Tae Kwon Do Black Belt today and perseverance is one of the tennants of TKD so I shall get there in the end.

The vintage Gillette finished things up well and a very close shave was achieved. However, the alum rub highlighted that, between the straight and the DE shave, I had been a little heavy handed so I went for a splash of witch hazel and the trusty Boots ASB before the Aquatonic AS. As a result, only mild irritation.
