    Revisor 8/8
    My skin has been reacting to soap and water, aftershave,...everything. Bad bumps and rash. I didn't shave for 5 or 6 days. When I did shave I used this setup. I am now using coconut oil as an after shave and shaving less often.

    Even if you had spelled it correctly (EZYEDGE), it'd still look wrong! :D:D

    today I got three passes with:
    A Lohmann 4/8 full hollow. there is some German words on the blade, I can understand them. I can find nothing on this maker from Hamburg.
    this blade seems nice,s bit skinny for my liking, but that may be my inexperience.

    it says
    ausgesuchtes qualitalsmesser.
    im hoping that doesn't mean,
    you suck at quality mister.
    if you know please enlighten me.

    Speaking of words that look misspelt, today's shave incorporated the SUPREJ! :signs002: [​IMG]

    ausgesuchtes qualitalsmesser = Chosen Quality 'Knife' (although 'knife' may be implying it is a cutting instrument suitable for shaving)
    I know nothing of the maker.
