View attachment 596152

Prep - Shower / Woods Of Windsor Cedar Woods soap / Pre-lather / 3 min steam
Razor - Gillette Thin Handle Tech
Blade - Bic Chrome Platinum
Brush - Omega 20106
Soap - Palmolive / Glycerine
After - Frozen towel / Alum & WH Mix
Result - BBS

Still on the second round of blade trials. First time around I despised the Bic, they had tugged worse than any other. This time there was a marked improvement, no tugging at all. Downside was the irritation it caused me, which wasn't apparent during the shave. It was only after splashing the Alum & WH Mix on that I noticed below my chin and down to my Adam's apple had suffered razor burn. Consequently, I decided to bin the blade after this one shave. There are many other blades that are much better.
The razor was new to me this week. It's Fat Handled sibling is my favourite DE so I really wanted to try this, it hasn't disappointed. Been quite a while since I used Palmolive but it really is a proper bargain.
