Today was my sixth day of returning to shaving with a DE razor after 40 years of multi-blades. It was my best shave yet.
It was my third day of using my 1953 Superspeed. It is a much more forgiving razor than my Parker 22R. I also took more time with lather prep and made by best lather yet.
I went slowly and applied no pressure. My first pass was WTG, the second was XTG and I finished with ATG on my neck. I kept waiting for the weeps that I've been having, but there were none.
One reason for that is probably that my face is healing from the previous use of the Parker with the Merkur blades. That shave was close, but always left some bleeding.
My day is off to a great start!
