Str8 save no 19. The straight was again a bit better than last, and I would have been happy to go to work with no clean up after it. However I've got a nights sleep to fit in before I do so a DE was enlisted to provide a BBS.

Stroker made an observation yesterday about figuring which part of the blade to employ for each facet of the neck area. Previously I hadn't paid particular notice to which bit of the blade I had been using and I think by doing so tonight I was able to make some better sense of what I was doing and what might work better next time so thanks for that.

When DE shaving I normally do 3 DE passes plus some localised clean up with blade buffing and J hooking. However, if I do 2 straight passes and 1 DE I don't need to do anywhere near as much localised clean up work! I'm sat here with about the smoothest face I've had since puberty, some minor irritation but that's all a great combination of equipment.
