We returned from a couple of weeks away, and the shaving that was supposed to happen while away just didn’t seem to happen. So what better way than to start the transition back to home than with a shave.

A lovely lather, some thick hair, and the razor needed cleaning with every stroke. The hair just seemed to clog the razor rather quickly. At least for the first pass.

A second pass to tidy the hair made quick work of the remaining stubble for a nice smooth finish.

A few more days before returning to the office, am I happy to return, somewhat, but also rather the break go on for a few more weeks.

After the start of a much needed break from reality, a shave was needed to start the holiday on a high.

A simple dome only shave to start with, but its nice to have it done. A few more shave to be done though.

It is a new year (well the second day at least) and what better way than to start the day with an all over shave.

New blade, my newest razor, and one of my newest shave soaps.

A lovely morning shave in the quiet of the house. I haven’t had an early morning shave for quite some time and the quietness of the house was a welcome surprise. Absolutely loved the alone time.

I really enjoyed the first use of the Rockwell up on the dome. Obviously I’m still dialling in the correct blade and razor setting for both the face and the dome.

The Wizamet blade matched with the 4 Plate seems to be working well. It could become my goto setting for the remainder of the my Wizamet blades. I am curious how it matches with the Feather blades I purchased. I still have a few blades from my mixed pack when I first started wet shaving I need to get through. Soon though, very soon.
