Shave of the Day

My first DFS

23.02.2021 by Andrew

  • Prep: Hot Shower
  • Prep: Proraso – Eucalyptus & Menthol Refresh Cream
  • Brush: Wahl Traditional Barbers – Badger Brush
  • Razor: Edwin Jagger – DE89
  • Blade: Feather (3 shaves)
  • Lather: Muhle – Aloe Vera Soap

A DFS in three passes, WTG/XTG/ATG.

First two passes gave a really good shave, with the bucket loads of lather left over, I went for a final pass ATG. Made the really good shave into a DFS and almost BBS.

Shave for a new week

21.02.2021 by Andrew

  • Prep: Hot Shower
  • Prep: Proraso – Eucalyptus & Menthol Refresh Cream
  • Brush: Wahl Traditional Barbers – Badger Brush
  • Razor: Edwin Jagger – DE89
  • Blade: Feather (2 shaves)
  • Lather: Muhle – Aloe Vera Soap
  • Post Shave: Proraso – Alum Block
  • Post Shave: Proraso – Eucalyptus & Menthol Refresh Cream

A nice two & half pass shave. Initially WTG for the whole face, had a slight nick. Second pass XTG with a second nick. Finally ATG on the cheeks only for a close finish. Finished up with the alum block to finalise the shave.

Loving the $2.80 bowl I picked up at the variety store the other week to use as my shaving bowl. It allows me create lots of lather to comfort the razor for each pass.

A few minor weepers from my first use with the ultra sharp Feather Blade. But overall a great shave with ultra smooth results.

First day with the new DE89 razor. Wow!!

The DE89 is not as mild as I expected it to be given the online reviews I have read and watched. Definitely wondering how it would go with a sharper blade.
