Lyrt,

I must say...I am still in shock that you not only bought a new sensor excel, but you in fact used it. :shock:

That is a good macro shot actually because now I can see how the first blade lifts and the second one cuts. It makes so much sense now.

Well, if you go that way, you could argue the plastic strips cut the hair, the first blade dodges it, and the second blade peels the skin.

Wow, there’s a kind of The Messiah effect with your hand glowing like that. No doubt you aren’t the Messiah as you’re far closer shaven.

Wednesday night:

'56 SS/English Wilkinson Did two reduction passes with this and it was just too aggressive. I may have gotten a bum blade as the first shave with this combo was also harsh.
Palmolive Lather
SMF III
T&C with English Gillette/Derby
Thayers Rose Petal
SCS Savory Rose A/S Milk
Coral Skin Food

Thursday Morning Shave

Post by Mike_gman »

Shower:
SCS - Drop of Citrus shower gel
Min Shampoo

Shave:
Merkur HD with new Feather - Wow... a little aggresive today.
QEDman Rose Geranium Shave Stick
Warm then cool water rinse
Men's Science Post Shave Repair spray - very sooting
Billy Jealousy Shaved Ice ASB
Baxter's moisturizer
SCS - Bay Rum EDC

Overall... not a bad shave. My face feels a little sore. This is my first go with the HD/Feather combo. That blade may be a little too sharp for that razor, but seems to work beautifully in my Progress razor.
As with all of us.... we keep experimenting to find perfection. The fun part of shaving.

Have a great day.
Mikey
