Notes to this shave: |
Summary - This razor can push above in its weight. A very fine shave with equally fine results.
Razor and blade - I actually had binned the blade when I had second thoughts about seeing it through to its limits. So reclaimed it from the graveyard and had another fine shave with it. This razor is one of my splurging moments of August. While I disapprove of myself for splurging like I did, I do like the fact that I have this particular Tech! Super effective, blade feel that actually feels on par with my Ti95, and very nimble to handle. Of course my @lasta red/grey handle has a significant contribution to that.
Brush and lather - So far my favourite boar brush. Great lather and easy to paint on. No hogging or shedding today.
Technique - Consistency is the name of the game here. I was effective on the jaw line by forgetting two spots. ATG was mostly riding the cap as it seemed to be the most fitting (based on audio feedback)
Enjoy your shave!
