Ok....I've racked up my 4th DE shave using a Merkur 38C, Merkur Blades, Vulfix #2234 and Taylors Lavender Shave Cream.
They are getting better...well apart from the second one where I ended up looking like I'd gone 12 rounds with Edward Scissorhands....but last nights one was excellent. Zero irritation on the neck..... cheeks and neck ubersmooth....the only trouble spot for me appears to be below just below the jawline but I guess that will get better with practise.
Currently doing one pass WTG and a pass ATG, I'll probably throw in a XTG pass with the next one. I've also got a West Coast sampler pack on the way so I'm looking forward to trying some different blades.
Cheers
Dave
