Sunday 21st February, shave #52.

Preshave: Hot washcloth, no oil
Soap: Arko, bowl-lathered
Brush: Men-U boar
Razor: Rockwell 6S, R3, Astra SP #7
Post-shave: Nivea 2-Phase Lotion.

Used the Rockwell on autopilot, for another lazy weekend shave. I've been neglecting Arko recently, because that puck is all worn down and uneven. Time to grate another stick of lemony goodness.

Shave #47
I made an extra pass with the BBS and took some xtra time with it, this gave me a good shave (not as close as Game Changer OC 84), but face feels happy again.

Same set-up for the week.

Tuesday 23rd Feb, shave #54.

Preshave: Hot washcloth, no oil
Soap: MWF, bowl-lathered
Brush: Men-U boar
Razor: GC.68 OC, Astra SP #4
Post-shave: Nivea 2-Phase Lotion.

Got a much better ATG result with the .68 open comb this time: a near-BBS, let down by missing the usual bit under my chin.

That's not any razor's fault, since it happens with all of mine. I need to break that problem out, and defeat it systematically.

Everywhere else, I was pleased with the good ratio between lots of smoothness and hardly any irritation.

Nivea 2-Phase Balm is good for an alcohol sting followed by balmlike effect, without residual greasiness, but it might be a discontinued product.

Wednesday 24th Feb, shave #55.

Preshave: Hot washcloth, no oil
Soap: Speick, bowl-lathered
Brush: Men-U boar
Razor: GC.68 OC, Astra SP #5
Post-shave: Nivea Balm.

I think the OC game changer must work best at a slightly different angle than the safety bar, which is why I'm struggling to get consistent results out of it ATG. Either that, or it is not as efficient as it feels.

That wasn't a bad result, just less good than the previous. Maybe I should stick with MWF, to eliminate that variable.
