Though the Shave finish was pretty good, I still enjoy shaving with heavier Razors.I sustained a rare weeper due to exerting pressure whilst doing polishing up work.My new Brush was very effective with the croap,but may have used too much water.

23 November

PreShave: Warm water
Cream: TOBS Platinum Collection
Brush: Kent BK8
Bowl: My recycled cream bowl
Razor: The Sledgehammer (Merkur 39C)
Blade Feather (7)
Post Shave: Alum

Fragrance: None—a work day

Nice shave, the Feather was still sharp. I'll try to use it again tomorrow. Usually, for me a blade is like a good NFL defence: four and out. I said yesterday that I wouldn't push my luck. I've changed my mind, as it's still sharp, so no harm in trying.
