Two more days. Two No 7 shaves with the 0.7 plate. Both were just plain excellent -- mild shaves that were not aggressive but clean and in the DFS category. I am particularly liking the feedback this razor gives me: it seems greater in detail than any other razor I've used. Or so it seems. Or maybe my technique has simply improved over the last four years. In any event, with the No. 7 I can gauge just what and how many hairs are being cut during a pass. I find that level of feedback quite useful and, as I just said, something seemingly more pronounced than I'm accustomed to. Below is today's equipment: the No.7, again a GSB, T+S Spiced Fougere soap, and an Elite Quartz brush with a G5C knot. I was in a hurry and I took the shave at full speed - had one tiny, tiny nick but a good clean shave. Was impressed. Tomorrow I'll move up to the 1.1 and try that.
