SOTD 22/8/15
Hot Towel
Rock Face Facial Scrub
Truefitt & Hill 1805 Cream
Body Shop Synthetic
The Raptor Shavette
Gillette 7 o'clock Yellow (1)
Cold Towel
Nivea Cream
Today was my first shave with the new shavette. I loaded it with a 7 o'clock Yellow, and prepared in my now standard way (hot towels and face scrub). I made a slightly wetter lather with the 1805 cream and coated my face in the wonderfully scented lather. The razor feels slightly different to use than my other shavette (seems like a bit more weight to the scales), but ultimately gave me a good shave (by my shavette based standards). The lather performed wonderfully, the aroma wafting gently around mid shave, the slick compact lather protecting nicely. My shavette technique is found somewhat wanting however, so the shave is by no means BBS, but a good shave none the less. Couple of weepers and a single bite from the blade due to my poor technique are all the problems I had.
Result? 3.5/5 today. The cream is divine as usual, my technique is the downside. I think I'll go 7 days with the shavette this week, quite possibly with the 1805 also. It will be a wonderfully scented week!
