Wednesday 17th Feb, shave #48.

Preshave: Hot washcloth, no oil
Soap: MWF, bowl-lathered (day 7)
Brush: Men-U boar
Razors: GC.84 SB, Wizamet #9, GC.68 SB, Astra SP #2
Post-shave: Nivea 2-Phase Lotion.

Completed a solid week of MWF with good results and no soap irritation, so it gets my approval. :a14: An easy near-BBS this time.

The lightweight aluminium handle (Windrose RA3) is making the GC.68 a whole lot more agile for ATG and tidy-up (mostly S to N). Compared with using the standard RazoRock Bulldog handle, it's like a different razor.

I've been underestimating the importance of handles.

Today was one of those rare (for me) shaves where absolutely everything clicked - hence the Spinal Tap score :) Even the brush was stellar and I'm not that fond of badger...
