Face only

14.11.2021 by Andrew

  • Prep: Hot Splash
  • Prep: Phoenix Shaving – Cube 2.0 Unscented
  • Razor: Razorock – Lupo Aluminium
  • Blade: Merkur Super Platinum
  • Brush: Yaqi – Lucky Dice
  • Lather: Wife’s Homemade Soap – Sweet Cakes Bay Rum
  • Post-shave: Proraso – Alum Block

After the last few shaves which were weeks apart, I took it upon myself to get back in to the habit of regular shaving for the following reasons:

  1. I enjoy the post-shave smooth skin
  2. Far less post-shave irritation
  3. It is a good self-care habit to have

So another shave with my wife’s homemade soap. The scent lingers long after the shave and I really enjoy the scent.

So two passes for today’s shave. No post-shave irritation, and a lovely post-shave feeling. I don’t understand how I fell off the bandwagon with traditional wet shaving.
