3 April 2020 – afternoon – no rush these days and was bored:
Four day shave. After my success with the Braveheart head I thought I should be able to get the same result with the R89. And I did, with a 99% BBS result. This was four passes with just one small nick.
Last time I used the Erasmic soap I wasn't happy with the lather, but my new red shaving bowl (with nubs) worked wonders, got a really good lather. Still had to load the brush twice but the result shows it's mainly down to technique rather than the quality of the product (or lack of). Others may disagree but I feel that persevering is the key.

Brush: Badger no name
Razor: MÜHLE R89
Blade: BIC
Soap: Erasmic Tub
