Pre:-
Razor: Flat Bottom Tech 1st use
Blade: Wilkinson Sword Germany 2nd use
Brush: Shavemac 2 Band Beehive
Cream: Williams Menthol
Post: TFS Witch Hazel, Proraso green
Result: DFS - 1 paper cut

First go with the FB Tech, it feels a bit milder than my Pre-War but I can't discern any major differences to all my other Post-War Techs. So I have to use it a bit more to find out the nuances. The Wilki was this time a bit smoother but I still feel not totally comfortable with it so maybe PPI spoiled me a bit.

Comments	Switching over to the Wolfman with a Personna Medical Prep blade for the 3rd shave. This is the 50th shave with the GD Amare soap and I had to scrape some out and put it in the CC Bowl. The remnant of the soap is lasting longer than I expected. Another excellent shave.
