Clean cut

It could be the milder strokes or perhaps I have softer facial hair.....

Cos after 5 shaves, the 7 o’clock blade is still pretty sharp....

And once broken in, no longer gives me any unexpected nicks.....

The very first box I bought was $1.50 but when stocks arrived at Mustafa, they are sold at 70 cents....!! Cheaper than the MII Laser and MUCH MUCH better in quality....

For last night’s shave, I used my EJ badger brush and Tabac shaving cream to whip up the required lather..... For reasons unknown to me, I just can’t achieve the rich lather I could with Omega shaving cream.....

Perhaps the tabac wasn’t made for that consistency...

So everything, the razor, the blade and the shave was close to perfect except for the lather.....

Happy wet shaving!!

After reading up the local forums on wet shaving, I’m not surprised that there are so many enthusiastic fans out there..... Simply bcos it’s effective and very importantly FUN.....

When I was using the MIC (made in China) $1.50 razor, I’d paired it up with MII (made in India) Laser razor blades...... The blades did their job but they were frankly quite crappy.... One can always feel the tugging and satisfaction? Almost non existent....... Cost? 1.50 for 10 blades..... or 80 cents for 5..... 16 cents a blade....

On the other end of the scale are Feather blades MIJ..... AWESOME & SUPERB!!!!.... But also very expensive at about 50 cents a blade!!!

Last night was the 1^st time I was using the Russian made Gillette 7 o’clock razor blades...... $1.50 for 5 and 30 cents a blade....... Not bad but certainly nowhere close to Feather..... Remember these are also considered as non-forgiving blades....... I got a nick cos I wasn’t paying attention.....

Right now I’m looking out for other choices just for the sake of trying and learning..... And I can’t wait for my EJ razor to arrive from the UK....

Anyway I have enough razor blades to last me for another 1-2 years at least....
