Started out nicely, 3 days growth nicely swiped away and feeling lovely and smooth. Just tidying up and - I've no idea what I did, but judging by the amount of blood I was missing a chin! 5mm nick on my chin, stopped bleeding after about 15mins! This iKon BITES! I'll take more care next time - probably next week by the time it heals!
 
Tuesday:

Fabulously close shave. I couldn't use this R41 razor every day but I still felt reasonably smooth when I went to bed 17 hours later!

Wednesday:

First use of the Faena Vanilla and the Personna Platinum that was a free gift from the Shave Lounge with the EJ razor I used yesterday. Great scent (fresh vanilla pods rather than the sweeter vanilla type scent) and it whipped up a very thick lather, it wasn't the smoothest of shaves but I don't know if that's due to the blade or the soap.
