OK, Where do I start?
All tools and products are 1st time use
I really like the pre shave and the shaving soap from 1912, although I think the Badger bristle was a little too soft for it (will be a cream only brush). I will start to break in the Smog 620.
I got a nice lather up eventually and it felt good on the face. A new feather blade in the new Game Changer. Now let's start.
Whoa!! Hold the phone! this is sharp.
Caught my top lip, just a tiny nick, put a stick on it and it was not a bleeder.
"Respect this kit" went round and around my thoughts.
I carried on with a bit more care, and boy could I feel the difference from the R89.
A nice gentle 2 pass shave WTG & XTG/ATG mix.
Finished off with the Alum block, a small graze under the chin and 1 other tiny nick on chin front. I was expecting something so not too bad.
A splash of my homemade W Hazel and tea tree.
Gucci aftershave Balm
Finishing with some Hugo Boss Night.
The razor felt good in hand and it's a lovely tool.
All in all very happy with today's effort. BBS skin no soreness or irritation.
I feel really good.
I am in training with this set up so no more SOTD posts this week unless I change something big. Wish me luck and have a great day all.
