A great shave today. The Omega R&B commemorative brush did a fine job with Floris JF shaving soap, making a wonderful lather—which, oddly, was gone by the third pass. Insufficient loading, most likely. No problem: a few passes of the tips of the brush over the soap, and third pass was fine.
I used actual Schick blades in the Schick Adjustable (set on “3”), and it was a fine shave, except that muscle memory had me set razor to face in the same angle I had used with the Schick in high school—and instant nick! But, unlike in my high school days, I now have My Nik Is Sealed, and I immediately applied it and indeed the nick was sealed.
The other passes were without event—save for the efficient removal of stubble—because I was much more careful of blade angle and how to place the razor’s head on my skin. With practice, that will become automatic, particularly if I used the injector razor exclusively.
I do find the Schick blades a bit better (for me) than Ted Pella blades, but this is shaving: YMMV.
A good splash of JF aftershave, and the weekend is underway.
