A large head nick

06.05.2021 by Andrew

  • Prep: Hot Shower
  • Prep: Phoenix Shaving – Cube 2.0 Scentless
  • Brush: Stray Whisker – 452/24 Synthetic
  • Razor: Edwin Jagger – DE89
  • Blade: Astra Superior Platinum (1 shave)
  • Lather: Ariana & Evans – Strawberry Fields – Soap
  • Post Shave: Proraso – Alum Block

After yesterday’s trip to Stray Whisker, and picking up some new shaving soaps, today was my first use of one of these soaps. The Strawberry Fields from A&E is absolutely gorgeous. The scent while lathering is just divine.

I’ve not used a Tallow based soap before, so unsure what to expect. However it seems that I managed to whip up a beautiful lather using the soap for my first attempt. Hopefully next time will be just as good.

While the scent was amazing, unfortunately I nicked my head 🙁 Bit of a bleeder this one. Hopefully it will just be a one off. Not sure exactly what I did because I didn’t feel it.
