I looked in the mirror this morning with my 6 days of growth and couldn't face using a closed comb razor with my R41 right there! Although I was catching a flight this afternoon and meeting relatives so desperately wanted a nick free shave.I thought I would give it one more go - going easy to minimise the risk.
Pre shave was a shower inclusive of a face wash using some glycerin soap.
I went for 1 pass WTG with a fresh Nacet and touch ups and it was sensational. Took my time but didn't get distracted, focused on stretching the skin. Not a cut neither a bump, some blade feel but otherwise like mowing grass.
I always face lather and used 3p for the first pass then also tried executive shaving cream no fragrance for the touch ups.
As a side note, I was thoroughly impressed with ES's slickness and found it much smoother than 3p. Not to put down ES's product but I think this also means I could work the 3p better.
Going to assess my shaver on my return, realistically I think one pass could be the win!
