Shave #1
Razor: Merkur 34C
Blade: Astra (Found a small stash, when did I get those?)
Shave cream: Cremo
First time trying the Astra. Shaved after shower. Hand applied Cremo to face as usual.
Result: auugghhhhhh! 1 cut, about 5 small pricks, and skin irritation afterwards! I almost never cut myself! So it must be the Astra? That blade was the only new thing to my routine. Well, maybe I didn’t use enough hot water to prep my face.
This was a Just Get It Done shave. Not fun, not pleasant. Gotta work to improve both!
I got some new product coming for Shave #2. (Including an alum block, which is supposed to help stop bleeding?)
