Smashing shave! Absolutely smashing!

The Weck Surgical Prep is super-smooth and super-efficient. Simply place the cap to the skin and draw down, the width of the blade sweeping away stubble yet nimble around the tricky bits.

But what a looker that brush is! I've made it quite plain that I don't like badger and this did nothing to dissuade me, but what a looker. I bought it with the intention of re-knotting with synthetic, but it's in such great shape I feel obliged to leave the badger knot in ... I can live with it.
 
Change of software for me today with very good results.

Didn't go too well tonight, Astor was rough after 1 shave!? Irritation on neck, tingling still! The tech is superb though on this handle, great balance and feel...

That's a nice looking handle that would certainly add to how the Tech shaves. Looks very natural and yeah, I bet the set up would have very good balance.

I've used the Tech with a Heavy Stainless handle (12*120mm) and it was OK, but this works better and more importantly LOOKS far better with this one ;)

I actually didn't need to shave at all today - that M.Peroni is just that effective that I barely had any stubble this morning but well, I shaved anyway :)
Another outstanding shave. Out of the razors I've tested so far during my 1 razor per week effort this one has already climbed to the top when it comes to how I'd rate them!
