Fancied a change tonight. Cream and bowl lathering; incremental drops of water etc. (just to keep the skills up). The Erasmic May be cheap as chips; but a little goes a hell of a long way. It could have been a five pass shave tonight, had I not ended up looking like Hellboy.

The Med Prep blade performed very well in the Red Tip, which is one of the more assertive Flare Tips.

Lest the rumours start, the Liz Earle stuff belongs to Mrs. Scotshave...

Another DFS with the Yintal. I agree @culcreuch that it's a good efficient razor. I needed for it to be rubbish so I could just keep the handle but like the Orange Yaqi I purchased, it's turned out to be a keeper! Great value at <£10 for a brass handled razor!

@chris.hale challenged my assumption a while ago that the 30mm brush was too big for face lathering. I'm glad he did as the brush has turned out to be a great face latherer and works splendidly with the ES cream.

Sorry no pic. Had a strange desire after WTG & XTG passes to do another pass in XTG opposite direction with a Mach 3 cart. Not content with punishing my face in this manner, I did quite a bit of touch up with the M3 as well. Whilst initially it looked like a close shave was had, it was actually far from comfortable and my face still ached for some time afterwards. Not sure what possessed me as I haven't touched a cartridge for a while, but it's had me seriously considering getting rid of them, or passing them to the wife for her legs! About to fly away for two weeks, DE only! Onwards and upwards . . .

Another classic inexpensive frankensoap duo that i could quite easily shave with 'forever', but like everyone else i like a variety with my shaving products.

Finishing to the shave off with a generous dollop of Aloe Vera Gel.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling devine.;)
