Monday evening

Hardware:

• Wilkonson Sword Classic DE
• WS German blade
• Omega 13109 pure badger

Software:

• Neutrogena face scrub
• conditioner
• Speick cream
• Nivea sensitive ASB
• Old Spice Original AS

My technique has improved. Still getting a nick here and there and still getting a bit of burn but much better than last week. I'm learning to angle the blade so that it cuts the hair without pushing against the skin as much. In fact, my first pass (WTG) didn't even feel as though it really touched my skin at all. Have a great Monday!
