Lynx Dark Temptation Aftershave
Not the best of shaves today, possibly due to only having 24 hours growth to remove instead of my usual two days.
Although the blade was new I found I had to make the 34C work to achieve as good a finish as with a Rockwell 6C on plates 3 or 4 .This may explain why I rely on my 6C so much - it's dependable.
A fair bit of sting from the aftershave confirmed that this razor/blade combo isn't best for me.

My first use of the VIG razor (Bought for the Chrome and Bamboo Handle)....and it was very similar to many of its Far Eastern Stablemates.
With a Permasharp blade it delivered a shave with mild/medium aggression and high efficiency.
A lovely smooth and comfortable shave with 3 passes and very little touch up.
