A very close shave today with the wonderful Kampfe "lather catcher", this set adopted from across the pond and made up by Jayaruh.
I always rub the sharp corners off the GEM Blade and ensure the line up is spot on centre as in the past it did have a tenancy to scratch if the angle was out a little or i caught the septum going XTG on the lip, No issues at all today.
The lightest of touches required, 3 full passes for a very nice finish, close, but not too close, i did use the Alum block today with very little indication, so all good.
A really nice post shave routine to finish off a very enjoyable shave.
Stay safe and enjoy your day All
