Finally got around to using, at the very least, the Proraso shaving cream and razor and one of the blades this morning.
About 5 days growth, hand lathered the Proraso with the "other" badger brush. Not a bad first go at DE shaving? But hardly what I'd call "great" (a bit of a harsh result, although the low res pic is gentler on me than I was on myself).
The Tech is a pretty mild razor, so it might need a few passes. Which blade did you use BTW? The Iridium is probaby the sharpest of those I gave you, the Yellow 7OC the 'roughest'. Have fun with these
