Soap/Cream: Proraso Red soap
Brush: Mühle Silvertip fibre M
Razor: Merkur 38C
Blade: Personna Platinum (Red) (1st)
Post: warm rinse; Ladrôme witchhazel + alum
AS: cold rinse; Nivea sensitive balm.
2 passes, good shave, certainly CCS.
Only use a Personna blade for the second time. I looked up my notes from the first time. Same impression: very fine endresult but not a pleasant shaving process for me. The blade seems to scream 'watch out, I'm sharp and I'm gonna cut you up if you don't pay attention'. It doesn't cut me up. So it's barking but not biting. All the same: not my preferred blade. Then would I rather have a nice shaving process but a lousy result? (Like I currently get from Shark blades, totally illustrating my level of technique, or rather the lack thereoff)? Obviously no. We want it all
8,5/10 for me
