R41 - The wet shaver fights back
So I had read what others had stated about their experiences and after my time with the Pureman OC, decided to give a bit of recovery time to my epidermis pending this experience ( a good solid week ).
As usual, shedomatic was called to the sacrifice.
This time, it was Monsavon it was sacraficed to.
Really liking this soap btw.
The blade was a PSS that had been put to use from the shave box, so had 2-3 shaves by memory.
It performed, and surprisingly well actually.
Not the worlds closest ever shave (yet I approached with copious amounts of caution) and minimal irritation/no cuts or red bumps that the PM OC left me with.
I will try a different blade and see how it manages that, as I think the PSS has reached the end of it's useful shave life.
It indeed is aggressive and I'm thinking that a '13 model being slightly less aggressive would be the sweet spot, yet I'm one shave in, so will see how it goes.
A rare victory for the wet shaver.
Let's see if I can continue this into a roll of wins.
