Day 132 ~ Shave 133 ~ Score 10/10

Razorock XXX (and splash)
Omega 615
Merkur Progress
Personna Super (1st use)

Not sure why I fancied giving the Progress a whirl today but I'm glad I did because the shave was fantastic with zero feedback from the aftershave to really let me know that things went well 🙂

Thursday 13th May, shave #133.

Preshave: Hot washcloth
Soap: Arko
Brush: Men-U boar
Razor: GC.68 SB, Astra SP #6
Post-shave: Nivea Balm.

Since I hadn't used the Arko recently, wetted the puck in advance.

It lathered up easily, as ever, the performance was good, and I got a BBS face and DFS neck.

After getting used to MWF all the time, though, there is more irritation with Arko, the sort that makes you rinse carefully, and a less comfortable post-shave.
