My first ever DE shave this AM! I still have a lot to learn ... I broke out afterwards on my neck but I think because I rubbed on coconut oil ... maybe need to switch to a splash on balm. I also was too chicken to do the against the grain pass but sideways was difficult! Maybe next time just with then against and done.

All-in-all it worked well and I am sure I will get better and faster as time progresses.

King of Shaves Azor
Fonex Brush
Floid Aftershave
Mitchell's Wool Fat Soap



I've not used the Azor for a few years, just found a pack of carts for it at the back of the cupboard and thought I'd give it a shot again. Whilst I came away with a nice shave and no irritation, the first pass, taking off 5 days growth, was slow going and this really wasn't the tool for the job. I spent more time trying to unclog it than I did shaving with it. I will give it another few shaves with day to day stubble and expect things will be more pleasant. There's really nothing quite like a straight for destoying a beard in a single pass.
