Seamus' wanky shaving log part III

[shamo]

Using the Astra blade last week.

Thus will be quick. It was not good at all. Still better than the Merkus of week 1, but it's a no. Shave was not smooth, regular blood spots on the face and owiness. Moved on to a gilette blade now, yes they still make them, and am quite happy with it.

Oh, I get to see my baby again on Monday too. Expect further ultrasound pics on Facebook!

Wanly?

This seems very hit and miss. If you have to try every brand of blade before settling on the best one, there comes a point where you have to wonder if it's worth it...

I guess what I'm saying is: what's the upside? Is it just the money saved on blades? (I say "just the money" without meaning to dismiss the significant difference in costs. If, once you find the right blade, the shave is as good as a mainstream razer then of course it's worth it)

DAMN YOU AUTO-CORRECT! fixed now.

I'm working my way through 5 blades that came as a 'sample pack' with the razor at the moment. It's a good way to do it, so I'm not buying a packet of them and throwing them out if I don't like it. And while Astra didn't work out for my face, it is honestly still better than alternative blade shaves.

The Derby blade was good. I could happily stick to it. But I want to try them all out for the novelty value (The one I'm using this week is good too).

The other upside, well... Smugness :). I called it my "wanky" shaving log for a reason...

Cool, well as long as there's an equality or improvement when compared to conventional razors, that's the main thing.

Also, I lose all points for correcting your typo, when I then spell 'razor' with an 'e'. #Fail.
