Yep, a brilliant cream

That might be the misaligned blade exposure you were talking about. Is the other side more aggressive?Sometimes I think I'm just scraping the foam off without the blade, think i can work on the angle a bit.
No it looks a little better actually as I used a new razor blade today, I can see the same amount of blade on each side. I think sometimes I'm just angling so badly that its not touching, seems OK once I correct it. Previously with the first blade I wasn't too confident that the blade was aligned well however. Guess Ill get a better idea over time and with the R89 to compare.That might be the misaligned blade exposure you were talking about. Is the other side more aggressive?
You will love the R89, it's in many respects the perfect razor and with proper soap applied with a brush your shave will go from ok to great, looking forward to hearing how you get on with the new gear.No it looks a little better actually as I used a new razor blade today, I can see the same amount of blade on each side.

Try putting the head flat against your face, handle at 90°, gradually move the handle towards the ground until you feel the blade.No it looks a little better actually as I used a new razor blade today, I can see the same amount of blade on each side.

Ill be sure to try that thanks! Had my 4th go today, closest yet, probably as good as can be expected using shaving foam from a pressurised can. Looking forward to the brush and new razor coming
Took it slowly today, did 4 passes 1 WTG 2 XTG and 1 ATG where it was worst. Good results. Sometimes I think I'm just scraping the foam off without the blade, think i can work on the angle a bit.
I'm from Yorkshire BTW know theres a few round here! Currently living in Manchester. Thanks everyone!!
What are peoples opinions of the 5 Derby Razor Blades, 10 Personna Razor Blades and 20 Legends London Alum Matchsticks?
Sorry I have turned this into a crazy hello post Thankyou all for your help and suggestions!!!!!!!!!!
I wouldn't bother with the matchsticks. At first it feels pretty badass to rip off a match and apply it to a cut but you get a microscopic amount of styptic with each match and they don't really work. It's just a very expensive way of buying a styptic pencil (which only works on tiny cuts anyway).
