  • razor: Koraat wedge 15/16
  • post shave: Nivea after shave balm sensitive

My first edge didn't get half the blade. Getting the tape even was very difficult. At last I had more success without tape. I still might try tape the next time. I had 3 days of growth which gives me a lot to chop through. The wedge feels much different than a hollow. Managing the pressure needs some getting used to. I spend to much time trying to chase bbs but some spots weren't perfect after all. Pretty good shave and no cuts. I like the after shave, I stingily got two of them in a 1 + 1 free deal.

I like Nivea Sensitive Balm, too.
