    SOTD 24-June

    I've been looking forward to this Swayback since its surprise arrival. It's got some weight to it but it balances well, though I had a bit of a wobble on the ATG pass on the neck and managed to catch myself slightly. Chuffed to bits with this and now has pride of place. 

    I'm not too ofay with the required format so this is my attempt at an LG PRACTICE 

    Hope everyone has a grand day. 

    Cheers

    SOTD 26-June

    • Brush: Simpson - M7 Manchurian #OLDWORLD
    • Razor: Merkur 39C
    • Blade: Wizamet

    I'm going to call this my real first time with a slant, my actual first time was with a plastic slant which I handled abysmally. Not quite grasping at that point that exceedingly lightweight razors really just weren't my cup of tea.

    This one however is heavy, I think it's been termed the 'Sledge Hammer', which I am happy to agree with. I had a bit of trouble finding the angle initially but once there it seemed to perform very well. Only hiccup was a bit of irritation on the ATG pass on the neck, but seeing as this a bit of a problem area at times I'm not not going to condemn it just yet. 

    I'll see how it goes as I get used to it, but so far not bad at all.

    Hope everyone has a grand day.

    Cheers

    Day 2 of the 39C going well, not sure I can feel a massive difference with the slant itself but it gives a good finish. This being my first LG I'm probably going to muck something up and I'm not going to be able to hit every day of the games but I'm looking forward to participating, should be a laugh, so this is the last LG PRACTICE 

    Hope everyone has a grand day.

    Cheers
