A mild case of COVID

26.08.2022 by Andrew

  • Prep: Hot Splash
  • Pre-shave: Phoenix Shaving – Ice CUBE 2.0
  • Razor: Razorock – Lupo Aluminium
  • Blade: Derby Usta
  • Brush: Yaqi – Lucky Dice
  • Lather: Ariana & Evans – Strawberry Fields
  • Post-shave: Proraso – Alum Block

Following on from the last shave where I was trying to avoid a case of COVID, today’s shave is brought to you with a personal case of COVID. It seems I managed to pickup a case of COVID, and so I have a week being stuck at home for 3 days so far, and have a further 4 to go during my isolation period.

So wish all this extra time on my hands, I have elected to shave before the weekend.

One thing that I have decided is that the Derby Usta blade does not seem to work well with the razor and my head. I certainly won’t be buying any more Derby blades. I know that I previously thought I would stick with them, but after today’s use of them, compared with the Feather blades, I have had better shaves with the Feather.
