Greetings
Friday 5th October 2012 Prep: Shower Razor: Schick Type E Blade: Schick Stainless Brush: Vulfix 404 Mixed Soap: Cella Aftershave: Dove Sensitive Balm
Two more weepers and a tiny nick on my neck! This razor really is an aggressive little bugger, a 'wolf in sheep's clothing' and a bit unforgiving regarding any lack of attention, or technique shortcomings.
I shall try a Personna stainless coated blade tomorrow and take it much slower and see if that helps improve matters.
Regards Dick

A much better shave this morning with the coated blade, about the same closeness minus the weepers!
I think that I have become so accustomed to using modern blades with PTFE coatings that I struggle with anything else, this mornings coated blade seemed to glide across the skin whereas yesterdays blade whilst just as keen if not more so seemed to want to 'stick'. I used the same lather so that was a constant
Regards Dick.

Gem 1912 Junior Gem SS/PFTE Blade (4) Turkish #6 Brush Arko Shave Stick Peraja Lemon Cologne
The shave with the Jr. this morning was the best one I've had all week. The results are near BBS. There was no burn with the high-alcohol Peraja cologne so I know that it was a pretty mild shave as well.

The Jr. gave me an outstanding shave this morning: very close yet very comfortable. I'm going to stick with it at least a few more days.
