2 days growth, so I choose an OC and did a proper hot water prep
The razor is old and the cap not as smooth as it could be, so I chose what I thought would be a good soap for the shave with a safe blade. Hmmm. Bit of rough shave. Care to ride the cap, no damage done, overall good shave but not a stellar combination. I remember the Derby to be better than this, so I can only assume the dragging was partly due to the not so smooth cap on the razor
Ended the shave after 2 passes, one pass on the back of the neck only
Caution, common sense, discretion and due diligence prevented any damage
Have a lovely Monday gents
