First Shave after surgery
Performed by my Sweet Girlfriend


Pre: Doccia Tiepida
Soap: D.R. Harris Arlington
Brush: Omega 20016
Razor: Friodur 7/8"
After: Sweet Girlfriend

Todays SOTD was really a test run for my new purchases...

Pre : Old Spice pre-shave wash
Soap : Proraso green tub
Brush : Progress Vulfix 404
Razor : Merkur Futur
Blade : Feather
Post : Cold water, alum block
Moisturiser : Nivea sensitive

Comments :
Proraso... how I've missed that scent! Excellent soap. Thankfully its menthol has been toned down, but it's still there. The Vulfix 404 is scrubby, thankfully. Hopefully though, it'll soften up a bit over time.

Having done some research, I loaded the Futur with a Feather blade, and set the razor to 2. I was pleasantly surprised; no hint of the alleged viciousness on the WTG strokes, and so cranked the razor up to 4 for the ATG strokes. Oops.

Overall, that's £19 well spent; the blades were a freebie.

Yea, it sure doesn't take much to go from mild to wild when you make a setting change on an adjustable DE. I think the big advantage of an adjustable DE is the ability to tune a blade to perform to your liking.

You can always use the butt crack to nicely hold the razor in place

Oh. Not quite as romantic as a frosty morning, and now I feel a little silly...
