I prefer aggressive

03.08.2021 by Andrew

  • Prep: Hot Shower
  • Prep: Phoenix Shaving – Cube 2.0 Unscented
  • Razor: Razorock – Lupo Aluminium
  • Blade: Merkur Super Platinum
  • Brush: Yaqi – Lucky Dice
  • Lather: Phoenix Shaving – Clubguy
  • Post-shave: Proraso – Alum Block

It has been a few days since I did a head shave. New blade required or course.

I tried my DE89, and after two strokes, I gave up because it just wasn’t cutting enough hair with each pass. Swapped back to the Lupo and finished the shave. Clearly I need my first pass to be with an aggressive razor.

With my last few attempts at a head shave with the Yaqi razor, and now giving the DE89 a run which was rather mild, I think I seem to need something aggressive. Not sure what razor to go with next. Want something with a bit more weight behind it than the Lupo, but want something more aggressive than the DE89 or Yaqi Stamford.

Clearly aggressive razors are in my nature.
