• Some feedback with the alum
- Weeper on lip. Nicked mole on neck but due to its size, I nick it regularly so no real deduction

First shave with Silver Star blade. Great blade that is smooth and sharp, can see why it gets so much love on B&B. Quite the difference between this blade and the Kai blades I’ve used last 8 shaves, the Kai felt noticeable less sharp and tugged constantly.

Always love my Murphy and McNeil sets, there’s a reason they are my favourite brand and bases. My wife and I love Garda Siochana, fantastic aquatic scent!
