Another pick me up

18.09.2021 by Andrew

  • Prep: Hot Splash
  • Prep: Phoenix Shaving – CUBE 2.0 Unscented
  • Razor: Razorock – Lupo Aluminium
  • Blade: Astra Superior Platinum
  • Brush: Yaqi – Lucky Dice
  • Lather: Phoenix Shaving – Frost Byte
  • Post-shave: Proraso – Crema Pre Barba Eucalyptus & Menthol

After a somewhat emotional day yesterday, I needed another pick me up, this time up on the dome.

A quick rinse and pre-wash with the Cube 2.0 from PAA, and a brand new blade in the Lupo. I’ve had enough itching from the psoriasis, I think the alum block actually helps.

A nice creamy lather from the Frost Byte, love the cooling from the menthol. This just confirms that I really am a menth head, even on the dome. A two pass shave, and unfortunately a few nicks because of the brand new blade and I clearly wasn’t careful enough. But a reasonable job done.

Happy to see the shave complete, and loving the smooth(-ish) feeling up top.
