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
