Friday 19th June...

Another two full passes completed today but with less quality on the shave. Used a Derby Extra #1 half blade and it wasn't sharp enough sadly and made things hard going. Will switch this out for next time. The DR Harris wasn't as slick as the Signature from last time either.

Soap - DR Harris Lavender in a Tabac pot.
Schick L - #3 Personna blade for the 3rd clean up pass.
Astringent - Cucumber Thayers

All in all, another successful learning day with the shavette. The lower lip area is now the key focus spot for both first and second passes.

Enjoy your Friday and weekend...

An excellent shave with the RC120+ - quite an aggressive razor but with a light touch I find it very good indeed.

Also first shaving use of the Boti White Boar knot in an Alpha Outlaw handle. I did a test lather to clean the knot a couple of days ago and as usual the knot ate 90% of the lather. Today it was a lot better but still new so multiple reloads were required in a quickly diminishing soap that I can’t replace ☹
