Blade was either a dud or too sharp to work well in the Masamune. Hard to tell which; either way I’ll put in a new blade for the next shave. On the upside the Epsilon for Men balm seems to calm my skin down a fair bit.
Shave of the day 18th December 2021 and micro review
Razor: “Normal”
Blade: Treet Platinum
Pre-Shave: Proraso Pre Shave Cream
Lather: Epsilon for Men Mediterranean Shave Gel
Aftershave: Epsilon for Men Mediterranean After Shave
Additional Care: Alum Block
The Epsilon shave gel smells nice. Okay cushion for a non-lathering shaving agent. No slip at all though, resulting in more than a few tiny skin breaks. Nothing big enough to be a weeper, but more than noticeable enough when putting alcohol based aftershave on.
