First HD (bought from forum member) shave ever today (unbelievable! I obstinately began on a Progress), and I have yet to get the hang of it. Firstly, the water was definitely too cold (couldn't be bothered with the kettle this morning why?). Secondly, maybe the IP is not the blade for this razor, or I hit on a dud. It didn't seem as sharp as usual. Still, the result is OK, better than it felt whilst shaving.

I decided to use the Elements of Bamboo for the 3rd day in a row. It's nice, but it's going back into storage for a while. I have promised my long time gf (might as well be wife) that I won't be buying any more stuff unless it's to replace something I finish. Lucky for me I have 1/2 a tube of C&E sweet almond I could blaze through if I want to
