Tuesday 6th April, shave #96.
Preshave: Hot washcloth
Soap: MWF, bowl-lathered
Brush: Men-U boar
Razors: GC.84 OC, Boots #7, GC.68 SB, Astra SP #8.
Post-shave: Hyaluronic acid, Nivea 2-Phase Lotion.
Tried an upper-lip ATG again, but it got tuggy. Using a brand-new sharp blade, in a razor with even less horsepower than the GC.68 SB, might work. Time to bring the Merkur 23C head out of retirement? An R2 plate would qualify, but Rockwells are cumbersome for that job.
Usually I do a very thorough bidirectional XTG, which gets it smooth without any drama, but not for so long.
Apart from that experiment, a good result. BBS face and DFS neck. Post-shave feel is better these days, but I don't know if that is down to MWF, hyaluronic acid, or a combination of using the two.
