A birthday shave (not mine)

23.04.2022 by Andrew

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

I don’t want to say this, but as usual, after declaring something to have ended, it rears itself and I am in the mood to actually restart it all over again.

As like recently, I’m getting slack with these shaves, down to a weekly event for the dome, and fortnightly for the face. The face itch was starting to get to me, really need to make them weekly at a minimum.

But a nice smooth creamy lather from the Kaizen, and always making sure the soap is hydrated works well. I really need to make sure my soaps are hydrated more than I have been, it clearly leads to a better shave.
