OK Today i decided to "Take 1 for the team" on the other forum i use, and try out this thing of a Gillette Techmatic SE, It was cleaned and prepped last week and i completed a bit research but still had no idea what to expect, As Back-up i had the Wonderful Unmentionable ready to go.
I was a bit enthusiastic with the amount of cream i put in the little Turkish bowl and once the little Duke 2 started on it i found it difficult to keep it in there, i had enough for 2 or 3 full shaves. Plonker.
Anyway, With the razor set to Lo, using a technique i use with any new razor where i start with the handle at 45* then slowly drop the handle until i hit stubble, the angle i found was quite open around 30*. i then opened the blade up to the next notch between Lo and Med.
I completed a no issue WTG pass. no real blade feel although it did seem to struggle in my more stubborn areas.
That's enough of that. I will use it again soon.
I used the \unmentionable to complete the Job, XTG and ATG for a BBS finish,
Dice idea for blade use nicked from TSR Member until i think of something else, i do love the idea of it and i hope he does not mind (Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery).
BBS, comfortable & smelling pretty sporty
Stay safe & enjoy your day All.
