Exceptional shave
Quite a fine shave today. The D.R. Harris shave stick, together with the Omega brush, produced the usual exceptional D.R. Harris lather. The Vision 2000, with a scarcely used Swedish Gillette blade, flawlessly removed the stubble with not a nick or any sign of irritation. And the Booster Mosswood was a fine aftershave to finish with.
I should say that it’s been a long, long time since I had any skin irritation: doing good prep, using blades that work for me, using light pressure, and maintaining a good blade angle eliminates that problem. And while I occasionally have a nick (about once or twice a week), My Nik Is Sealed is the most that’s required and often not even that. Practice—almost daily practice—does a make a big difference in one’s skill.

Michael,
These days besides a shower and Mr. GLO are you doing anything else for your prep?

Nope: Get out of shower, dry off, go to sink and wash beard with MR GLO, rinse, work up a lather on my beard and take my time brushing it into my beard—I enjoy the process, and this is really where the beard is fully prepped (unless you go the additional step of a hot, moist towel).
