I might be crazy, but I did it anyway!
Yesterday, as I was contemplating my morning shave, I entertained a frightening prospect. You see, I had to be very careful in my razor selection because the blade currently in-use is the legendary Feather. Now the Feather is one of my favorite blades, and has provided very smooth shaves in the past, but as of yet I have only used it in a few of my more mild razors. However, this time, for that particular Feather's second use, I decided to put it in one of my most aggressive razors, the equally legendary Red Tip Super Speed!
Because this was a combo previously untested, the fear of bloodletting was high.
I chose to lather using my much loved Coates Tea Tree and Rosemary cream, and proceeded to prep, all the while wondering of I was going to survive.
Let me just skip ahead to the results. I had, quite possibly, the closest, least irritating shave of my entire wet-shaving life! It was fantastic. Three passes, not one nick, not a single weeper, no tenderness or redness! It was luxury I had not yet experienced.
I finished it off with some Aqua Velva, which had almost no sting, and then treated myself to a little Nutriment just because I wanted it. It was superb!
This is definitely a winning combo in my shave den.
