All good tonight. Not a massive amount of whiskers after last night's Gem MMOC; but the AC polished them off. I've really enjoyed working up to a reasonable skill level with this razor. It's possibly the nearest I'll get to a straight; as I don't have the facilities for stropping, etc.
I should give a shout out to Paul
@Blademonkey who, many months back, encouraged (enabled
) me to try this razor; and also for the same encouragement in opting for the Professional blades, after the Proguards. I thank you, Paul!
Continuing with tallow versus non-tallow, I find the former just has the edge (as it were) performance-wise with the AC. The only disappointing shave I had recently was using the AC with Proraso Green soap. But, it may have been poor technique; as the soap performs well with other razors. Plus, the AC does well with other non-tallow soaps like Wickham's 1912, SMNV, Valobra Menthol and so on. Pair it with OSP, P&B and Tabac, though, and it shines!!
