This is the best shave I've had in a week. I don't care what anyone says about soft water, but I can't stand the stuff. My hotel had the softest water I've ever felt in my life. It was down right slimey...

I'm GLAD to be back to my normal fairly hard water.

Saturday

Prep: Hot shower
Razor: Merkur Futur
Blade: Feather
Soap: Edwin Jagger Sandalwood
A/S: Zirh Soothe

First time ever with soap. No real problems but i think i prefer the cream, at least now in the winter. Feels a bit dry but nothing that i can't live with.
Are going for the feathers again as well. When i raised the level of the razor with the merkurs i got a feeling that it tugged a bit.

 

Saturday: Musgo Real Lime preshave soap (almost out finally) / Parker 91r razor / Lord Cool blade d2 / VDH deluxe soap and boar brush / Old Spice aftershave

The Lord Cool blade feels a little harsh while shaving. But when done, my face is smooth and only a tiny bit of irritation while applying aftershave. Strange
