Shave Rating: 7/10
First ever shave with this razor and it feels very mild even with a fresh BIC loaded into it! I ended up with some irritation around my neck (more than I had yesterday) so there is something about this setup I am not getting right. I don't think the light plastic handle helps so I'll be trying it with a heavier handle on my next shave as I have a feeling I am using too much pressure due to the weight and mildness of the razor.
I also had my final shave with Le Pere Lucien Oud Neroli in my current rotation. For me the performance and scent are excellent with the only slight quirk being that my loading time seems to vary every shave!
Today's lather was made even better with my new lather scuttle from Steve Woodhead pottery. It's starting to get cold in Scotland so having warm lather for every pass is something I am looking forward to!

Comments | Second us of the Omega Evo 28 mm syn brush. I am favorably impressed with the brush. Soft with a nice backbone. The Wolfman is using the Personna blade for the second shave. A nice, BBS shave although I did have two small weepers on my neck. I had some arthritic pains in my hands and I am sure that caused the shaver error. A decent shave, nevertheless. Have a good one, B&Bers. |
