Day 17 of 30 days of straights
Today I used my Henckel 6/8 Round Toe.
View attachment 129256
This is a very nice blade. It seems easier to get this blade at the correct angle than when I use the 4/8. It is harder for me to get underneath my nose with a round, toe than with a square toe, but I think this is normal.
I did not cut myself today, but I am still experiencing some irritation similar to what I would get using too much pressure with a DE.
I tried 2 new items today. First was the ABC (Antica Barbieria Colla) shaving cream. This is touted as one of the slickest soaps available. It is in fact very slick. I liked it a lot. The scent is a heavy almond and it is actually a croap. Is it worth the price? I don't know yet.
The second new item was a sample of Penhaglion Bayolea shave cream soothing gel which I received along with the ABC. At first it seemed excessively thick, but it did spread well and is soothing. It does have a rather strong scent which I think is close to "barber shop".
Overall, this was a good shave.
