Fusion reprise

[JulesE34]

Found myself in the unfortunate position of having a power-cut in the middle of the night last week. Result? Alarm clock failed to go off at the designated time and with 1 hour less to play with I gritted my teeth and reached for my old fusion that I have not used in 4 months and a tin of Noxzema Menthol.

I decided to shower as normal, lots of hot water and conditioner. Applied the Noxzema with my fingers and left for 2 minutes and then started shaving. 1 WTG, and x2 XTG, re-lathering in between passes.

Result? Not as bad as I feared it could have been. No nicks or cuts, no irritation.........until later. Felt 'pricking' on my face all day. Got home in the evening :eek: ingrowns on my neck. Not really bad, but worse than if I used my Merkur and cream combo.

Think I'll go back to the Merkur and Cyril slater...........

Let that be a lesson to us all.

Wishing you a speedy recovery.

the face get used to a specific razor. after changing you will need some tim for the face to adjust. The warning on Electric Razors is to expect up to a month for the face to adjust. I would think blade to blade would take less.

I tried my old sensor and had a problem similar to yours ( but liked it enough to stay with it)
