Figaro
Very good shave after one adjustment. The Figaro created a fine bitter-almond-fragranced lather thanks in part to the G.B. Kent BK4 brush. Then the Apollo Mikron began and I was a little shocked by the blade: it didn’t seem to be nearly so smooth as I’m used to, but it did cut. Still, after the second pass I decided that the blade was definitely over, and I picked up the Rocket for the third ATG pass. On changing out the Apollo blade, I saw that it was a Ben Hur blade that I apparently used beyond its effective life. For next time, there’s a new Swedish Gillette blade now in the razor.
