Return to work

  • Prep: Hot Splash
  • Razor: Rockwell 6C (4)
  • Blade: Feather Stainless
  • Lather: Ariana & Evans – Kaizen
  • Post-shave: Proraso – Alum Block

After a great time away, and finally returning to reality after 5 weeks away from the office, a shave is definitely in order.

Took the time to have a full face and head shave after a few weeks.

With a lovely head lather using the Kaizen, there are just a couple more shaves left from my tub, the thick growth was taken down with the Feather Blade and the Rockwell razor. I think I’m settled with the blade and razor combination. Loving the weight of the razor, and the smoothness of the blade after a couple of uses.

After the dome, it was onto the face. A little more soap, and continuing on the face lather to mow down a few weeks of growth. The razor cut through the whiskers on the first pass, then another slightly thinner lather for the cross the grain pass.

I never go for a BBS shave with a few weeks growth, so the two passes will be enough to be presentable for a few days, I’ll come back to get that BBS shave with just a few days growth rather than weeks.

Returning home

23.01.2023 by Andrew

  • Prep: Hot Splash
  • Razor: Rockwell 6C (4)
  • Blade: Feather Stainless
  • Lather: Ariana & Evans – NYC
  • Post-shave: Ariana & Evans – NYC

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.

  • Razor: Rockwell 6C (4)
  • Blade: Feather Stainless
  • Lather: Phoenix Shaving – Awesome Sauce
  • Post-shave: Phoenix Shaving – Awesome Sauce

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.
