No dolphin finish today, taking it easy learning the characteristics of my new razor.
I think I prefer the Astra SP over the Nacet out of the 2 outings with the Carbon,
though both have delivered what I was aiming for.
I really rate Stirling & I take a good amount of time to nail the lather.
Bowl lathering, after an initial whipping to get it about 80% there I leave it to stand for about 3 or 4 minutes, in the warm bowl it then seems to change consistency.
I then whip it up to a peaked shine. Not sure if it's some placebo effect that seems to make it better but that's what I do.
Have that great Sunday shave folks, SOTD's are looking tip top!
