Disappointing shave. Im convinced that my blade is dull. It still cuts, but is leaving visible stubble. Ive used my pasted strop 1.0 and 0.5 and i think its still dull. Im not happy at all shaving and my face is tingling/burning after that shave and it still is rough in spots. Aqua Velva helped a bit. Think im gonna give up on the straight until I get my Filly from Lynn and compare.

Friday-Monday
A little bit of everything with one common denominator. Treet Blue Blades. 1st passes were yuck with much better 2-4 passes. Shaves were in the 4.1-4.4 range.

Post Shave
Aftershave: Thayer's Witch Hazel Aftershave
Aftershave Balm: Musgo Real Classic Aftershave Balm
Cologne: Mäurer & Wirtz Tabac Culture for Men Eau De Toilette

Result: 4.5/5.0 Tabac Triple Milled, open comb Merkur and a Sharp Blade. Nice combo. I didn't go for BBS but I could of and probably not paid the price for it. I'm going easy because the Treet blade first passes were not smooth and I wanted to be nice to my neck. I'm back in the groove.

 

Excellent choice!

I need to dig through my Beatles albums and see what I have.
