First try with a shavette, only WTG. Went reasonably well even if left side with my left hand was not obvious

Try to use your right hand on both sides of the face. It will be tricky at first, because you can't see properly (the hand is in the way) sometimes. But you'll have more control.

I moved on my Mongoose but kept the fantastic Claymore, for me it is a razor that hits all my "bells and whistles", however, i prefer the head with the IKON Bulldog handle rather than the longer, heavier original handle. The Claymore delivers a smoother, just as efficient shave as the Mongoose and is one of the last homemade razors we had. i wish it was still available in this format for newer users to try.
The OSP Neroli is a very old school scent, think sophisticated Arko, but a very natural Neroli scent. Neroli is a very "Marmite" scent but i love it, reminds me of stays with my grandparents. All in all a cracker of shave.
Sorry for the late post all.
I hope you had a good one.
