New soap day

28.05.2022 by Andrew

  • Prep: Hot Splash
  • Pre-shave: Phoenix Shaving – Ice CUBE 2.0
  • Razor: Razorock – Lupo Aluminium
  • Blade: Wizamet Super Iridium
  • Brush: Yaqi – Lucky Dice
  • Lather: Ariana & Evans – NYC
  • Post-shave: Proraso – Alum Block

Through the Paste & Cut forum, I purchased four new soaps and the matching aftershaves to add to my collection. This is the first shave with any of them, and I enjoyed the NYC scent for the dome shave.

Sunday morning

22.05.2022 by Andrew

  • Prep: Hot Splash
  • Pre-shave: Phoenix Shaving – Ice CUBE 2.0
  • Razor: Gillette – Slim Adjustable
  • Blade: Wizamet Super Iridium
  • Brush: Yaqi – Lucky Dice
  • Lather: Phoenix Shaving – Frost Byte
  • Post-shave: Proraso – Alum Block

As per my last couple of posts, I’ve either gone with a head only or face only shaves. Never doubled up with both in the same shave.

Today I continued with that trend. The face only on Sunday morning. However I opted to use the aggressive Gillette Slim Adjustable on it’s most mild setting, number 1. Even this is aggressive because of the rhodium plating. But no nicks this time, but a close shave.

Definitely need more practice with the Slim Adjustable.

  • Prep: Hot Splash
  • Pre-shave: Phoenix Shaving – Ice CUBE 2.0
  • Razor: Razorock – Lupo Aluminium
  • Blade: Wizamet Super Iridium
  • Brush: Yaqi – Lucky Dice
  • Lather: Ariana & Evans – Kaizen
  • Post-shave: Proraso – Alum Block

I haven’t carried out an after work night shave for quite some time. The vast majority of my recent shaves have been done on weekends, or public holidays, in the morning. I think there was one before work shave, but shaving on a work day has not happened regularly for quite some time. Maybe this is the start of something new again.
