Monday 20th April…

An Italian themed shave this evening. I hunted around for the one Italian blade I own - a Fatip bizarrely - but it was hidden somewhere in my mixed box of blades so I went for a Nacet #1. Why they named this razor the ‘gentile’ is beyond me as it could easily be a one pass and done. Three passes and done tonight. Probably won’t need to shave for a fortnight now.

Enjoy your evening 🙂

Tuesday's shave was very satisfying DFS, with very little irritation, but after 2 passes, my face still had a touch of roughness. Touch-up took care of most of it, but the finish isnt BBS. The Suneko was a bit tuggy, but to be fair, that is compared to a Feather New Hi-stainless. Still, a very pleasant, enjoyable shave. Finished the bottle of aftershave - only 5 more bottles in stock to get through! 😁

The brush continues to shed heavily. This one I purchased here in China, our German friends have a TaoBao/JD distributor.

I don't really get the reason why this aftershave costs eighty plus Euros for half a litre, but may it's just me.
