Wednesday:
An evening shave for me as I'd spent all day building and setting fire to a bonfire.
The pass-around Feather Artist Club SS has made it's way to me and arrived yesterday so this was my first use of it. Technically challenging esp. as I struggle to shave (or do anything coordinated) with my left hand so I only used my right and getting the blade in the correct position and angle took some thought. Not sure how many passes I did as only my cheeks received a WTG and then XTG traditional pass, everywhere else I just worked on in small strokes to complete my shave.
And what a shave! My cheeks are as smooth as if I'd completed an aggressive ATG pass and my top lip and chin (which took ages) is utterly devoid of stubble. I had quite a few small weepers but cold water and Metisol sorted those out.
Overall a very satisfying first shave with a straight type razor and I'm very glad I used the Pro-Guard blades.
