Dome & face

24.10.2021 by Andrew

  • Prep: Hot Splash
  • Razor: Razorock – Lupo Aluminium
  • Blade: Wilkinson Sword
  • Blade: Astra Superior Platinum
  • Brush: Yaqi – Lucky Dice
  • Lather: Phoenix Shaving – Frost Byte
  • Post-shave: Proraso – Alum Block

It has been almost two-and-a-half weeks since my last shave. I have been very slack.

The hair growth was long and unwieldy for a DE shave, but I pushed on anyway. Cut down most of the hair on the first pass. Few nicks around and about, but not really unexpected.

Swapped out the blade for a new Astra SP. A second pass removed the remaining hair and left me with a decent shave after two and a bit weeks of nothing.

Then onto the face. Two passes to be precise, brought the unwieldy beard into line and smoothed out the face. Glad I did it, just wish I was motivated to keep up the routine.
