Pretty good one pass shave this morning, plus some touch ups. I'd class it as a Close, Comfortable Shave, but didn't wanna push it to for BBS. I'd usually do 3 passes but I'm just getting over the flu and felt a bit ill.

Most areas of my face feel smooth, until I run my fingers ATG. It's perfectly acceptable for sitting around the house.

Loving my little Simpson Classic 1 at the moment. Struggles to do 3 passes without a quick reload but does 2 no problem and can fit in a travel tube while we were visiting family over the holidays.

Also took the GOTTA back to my 12k, then paste and strop, so it's ready for later in the week. Felt nice and sharp and treetopped arm hair no problem so I'm looking forward to using it.

Today I used the King Cobra the latest and most aggressive of my AC/SEs. As I am still getting the feel of this Razor, I am now using a milder blade.
I find that to avoid mishap , more concentration is required than when using other AC/SE Razors. I am pleased that this Shave was probably the best close all round Shave I have obtained with the KC so far.
