Wednesday 26th August...

Quick shave after dinner tonight which is unusual for me. Used a Wilkinson Sword #2 which was left over from when I was away. This soap is so good when you load it heavily out of the pot as opposed to the stick applied to the face. It's extremely good fun to use too.

The Krona always gives a close finish despite being fairly mild. By the time the third pass is done, it's dolphin smooth. One of the best of my vintage razors and my only vintage TTO.

Enjoy your evening.

Today was my first shave with this razor. It was a fairly simple shave with no surprises. I feel like the Weck shaves cleaner from the first pass and the shave itself is more exciting.
