Wednesday 8th April...

A very sunny and warm day today but I'm quite tired after a lot of walking. The Nacet #3 continues to impress with another supreme shave without issue. One oddity to report is that I'm having to reload the brush much more often than at home. The lather is very thin at times and that's with two different soaps which normally lather very well indeed. No idea why - maybe hard water rather than soft water? Anyway, the shave was excellent.

Enjoy your evening...

Yes, water hardness makes a huge difference to the lather - you’re very lucky to have soft water at home.

Not a huge fan of the shaving cream, its performance is way behind the peppermint cream from ToOBS so will make an effort to get through it quickly
