Following on from last week’s announcement about purchasing a new bike, today was my first real opportunity to go for a ride.

The ride was not far, I need to get used to the new setup, a new bike, and all that jazz.

As well as the new bike, I gave one of my newest razors a whirl. A Gillette Slim Adjustable in original finish. My previous Slim Adjustable (L1) is finished in Rhodium, and aggressive as f*ck. Even on the number 1 setting which the rhodium finish, I have to be ultra careful.

However using the original finish Slim Adjustable (L3) on number 5 setting, I had a decent shave. Certainly have to work on the technique thought, but that is the case with all razors.
