After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:
vintage Simpsons best
Cobra/Kai Mild
C&S #88 SS
Neutrogena oil free moisture
Givenchy 'Xeryus' EdT (black bottle)
Fourth shave with this razor/blade and it's working out just ok. Before trying the Cobra, I had a feeling the blade might be a problem. Yeah, if a blade's too sharp I need to pay more attention to detail, plus the comfort level isn't what I like. That's what's happening here.......a very close shave over the easy to get to spots, and having to be careful over the tougher areas. I don't see any technique tweaks fixing this, but will continue using the same set up for a while longer just to make sure. I just don't care for the way the blade feels on my face......just a little bit too intrusive. Man, very glad not to have bought one of these things.
Heh, that unopened travel puck of the #88 had been calling to me for a while now from the arsenal and today was the day. Really good performance with a scent I still don't know about.
BBS results,
Martin
