Greetings All,
Thursday shave
One day's growth and warm shave
Preparation – Showered then face washed with Clique Liquid facial soap (mild)
Soap: TOBS Sandalwood shaving cream
Razor: Rockwell 6C (4P)
Blade: Lord Super Chrome (4th)
Brush: RazoRock 400 (face lather)
Post Shave: Hot then cold water rinse, Alum, Nivea 2 Phase followed by Proraso Red AS.
Lord Super Chrome Test
Day 4
And. . .
I can never get over how much forgiveness TOBS shaving creams add to the shave. I could feel the blade wanting to attack, sense its yearn to shed blood, but. . . yup I got a few weepers, but no nicks. Overall it was a nice shave. So, was the Day 3 shave like a Voskhod Day 2? Not sure, but yesterday was extremely uncomfortable.
Of the Lord range I have tried so far, you will not be surprised for me to say this is my least favourite. Where does it stand in the rankings:
(I sip my coffee and pause)
I will be slightly changing my process from next week - after four days not shaving (Thursday to Monday) - I look like a hobo, a look the wife does not like, so I will re-instate my Saturday 2 pass shave (it also means I can use my neglected hard and soft ware outside the testing).
Cheers,
Brian
