Treated myself to a blade change today, and used a guarded blade for a change,having used one in my Travel Razor recently.Personally I find that they work very well on my quite strong beard, as they enable me to work on stubborn areas of growth with no danger of cutting myself. Made sure I had a great lather from The Mondial, and had a very pleasant Shave, with a really good all round finish.

Indeed the first use with them was fine. From the second one, not so good, even if I bloomed them.

Cyril even sent me for free a newer batch. First use creamy lather, second one lighter almost foamy lather.
G, try next time loading a damp, squeezed out, near dry knot. Then drip water slowly into the knot as you build lather on your face. When you go slowly you’ll enjoy the destination that much more.

Notes: Another sunny day here by the Seaside, and time to tidy the garden.
A perfect opportunity to shave outside, once again I had plenty of volunteers turn up once I took my top off and they all wanted me to check out their bush.
Make of that what you will 😉.
Anyways no rest for the wicked, they are calling for me to pop some cherries 🍒.
Toodles.
