De-stress time

30.04.2023 by Andrew

  • Prep: Hot Splash
  • Pre-shave: Phoenix Shaving – Ice CUBE 2.0
  • Razor: Rockwell 6C (4)
  • Blade: Rockwell Razor Blade
  • Brush: Yaqi – Lucky Dice
  • Lather: Ariana & Evans – Vanille de Tabac
  • Post-shave: Ariana & Evans – Vanille de Tabac Splash

It has been a little stressful at work lately, and a shave felt necessary “me” time to try and blow some of those cobwebs away. It somewhat worked, but in a way didn’t.

Oh well! Maybe next time!

Itch relief

02.04.2023 by Andrew

  • Prep: Hot Splash
  • Pre-shave: Phoenix Shaving – Ice CUBE 2.0
  • Razor: Rockwell 6C (4)
  • Blade: Merkur Super Platinum
  • Brush: Yaqi – Lucky Dice
  • Lather: Stirling Soap – Margaritas in the Arctic
  • Post-shave: Stirling Soap – Margaritas in the Arctic Splash

Note to self: Don’t use this blade more than two full dome & face shaves.

After last weeks itch relieving shave of the dome, this week was an itch relieving shave for both the face and the dome.

With daylight saving ending over the weekend, there is a bit more light in the mornings than there has been for a few weeks, so an early morning shave before work is on the table. Additionally I haven’t had menthol in a shave since January, and wanting that cooling feeling even with the cooler mornings.

Absolutely loved the menthol cooling in this shave, but I did not enjoy the nicks coming from using and older blade. I’ve certainly missed it, and might need to have a few shaves with it to satisfy that feeling once again.
