My wife’s birthday

  • Prep: Hot Shower
  • Prep: Phoenix Shaving – Cube 2.0 Scentless
  • Brush: Stray Whisker – 452/24 Synthetic
  • Razor: Edwin Jagger – DE89
  • Blade (Head): Derby Extra (1 shave)
  • Blade: Parker Premium Platinum (1 shave)
  • Lather: Phoenix Shaving – Clubguy – Soap

My second head shave using a DE razor. Again not a perfect result, have too many lumps and bumps up there to smooth over. I tried my EJ razor over the milder Wahl razor, got a little closer I think, but could still get closer again with a less mild blade.

I’m still having trouble keeping a consistent angle to make sure I cut hair all the time. I guess that part of head shaving comes with practice.

The face shave at the same time was a simple two pass shave. Smooth results, no nicks or cuts. The alum block noted a few locations which were ultra close as normal. But otherwise a great shave all up before the weekend.
