Just gone back to DE shaving (which was my first ever shave as a teenager, borrowed Dads old razor, but thought it was terribly old fashioned), after a six months of disposables (after five years of having a beard).
Treated myself to an Edwin Jagger DE89L, stuck in a Derby blade, proraso pre-shave, hot towel, Taylor of Old Bond St "Jermyn St" shave cream and finest badger, alum block for the little bits of irritation after. Boom, great 3-pass shave, although the technique needs some finessing. And I need to get used to waking up 10 minutes earlier :)
