20 swirls on the puck today, added glycerine to the lather for the 1st and the 2nd pass. Looked nice and shiny. Lathered up easily, but looked better than it performed.
I might be imagining it but the SE blade felt a bit rougher today. Checked it was seated fine. Yup. A-OK. Might just be because of 2 days in a row SE shave. Could be the Derby is not as good as others. Might give this another run with different software in the days ahead.
Lovely scent from the above combo, receiving my wife’s seal of approval
Enjoy the weekend one and all

Much better shave today. Same software, so the roughness from yesterday was from the SE shave. Can’t be sure if it was the Hydromagic or the SE blade
Either way I am glad I stuck with the Derby: it reassures me that it is good stuff. Got to get the right hardware and software working together
Minor alum feedback
As smoooooooooth as it gets
Have a great day everyone
