1 pass face shave. Nothing new - GTB is still a very solid option with a comfortable scent; The Hawk continues to be nimble and Feather PG suck for my face.

1 pass head and face shave again. Not fitting scents at all, but at least it was cold - the return of summer heat isn't well received on my end. Blade's ready to be replaced.

Three more shifts to go until a free weekend - let's go.

Relaxing 1 pass head and face shave to look nice for tomorrow. I missed shaving my head with a safety razor!

Cuir et Epices is one of my most favourite things. A perfect soap to start my second year of nursing school tomorrow.

Relaxed 2 pass face shave. ProGuard still bites a bit, but not as much as the first time. CotN is cool.

Last few days of year one at nursing school. I'm excited how the second year will be... So far, everything is still going strong!

And just as a side note, I think one of the reasons I enjoy a wet shave is the ritualistic aspect of it. It is not something to be rushed and when done with intention, I really enjoy the process, and it leaves a really nice smooth feel.

#Shaving #WetShave #SafetyRazor

So in effort to make my masks fit better, though why it's taken 3 years I'll never know, I decided to whittle my beard back to a Van Dyke. That means picking up a razor after many many years. I think the last time I shaved was for a costume.

I enjoy a wet shave with a safety razor. I have a nice soap and brush that were kept clean and stored away just waiting for me. I have had a run-of-the-mill Merkur razor that seems to do the job ok if i'm careful.

In the last several years, I've seen a variety of new razors come out looking to provide an alternative to the multi-blade disposable razors. One in particular that intrigues me is the Leaf system. It is very pretty and looks pretty good. I've been thinking about the single-blade Twig. The other I saw that intrigues me is the Henson AL13. The change in the blade angle and depth seems to offer a less fiddly shave compared to a regular double-edge.

Anybody have any experience with either? I'm leaning towards the Henson.

Was having a lovely #shave this morning, my technique has improved a lot lately so was feel brave and thought I'd try an against the grain pass...that was a mistake. I'll be paying for that all week! #RazorBurn #SafetyRazor

A short face shave around the goatee. Somehow I forgot to log yesterday's shave.

Feather PGs aren't really my favourite, despite the guard I always get a few weepers no matter how careful I am.

Other than that, a comfortable shave. Aftermath is nice and mild.

@cynical13 @jake4480 I’ve been using this particular shaving cream for years with my #SafetyRazor

When I started shaving decades ago, I started with an electric razor. That left a lot of acne and skin irritation.

Eventually I moved to a cartridge razor, but that can be expensive.

Years ago, I bought a #SafetyRazor to try a shaving method that was promised to be more comfortable and less expensive. I picked it back up a few months ago.

It can be very comfortable, but there's a heck of a learning curve. A puck of shaving soap and blades is very cost effective though.

Trimmed my stubble beard into a goatee/circle beard yesterday. Today it was time for a fresh shave - 1 pass face shave, comfortable result.

Perhaps a head wetshave could be possible again tomorrow - I'll see. Budget Steve Austin look, I'm coming!

A nice single pass face shave before a hard late shift. In fact so hard that I had to get back in my bathroom to remember what I shaved with...

The Perun is so amazing for comfortable shaves. Slowly becoming my favourite DE.

A relaxing shave on my only day off this week. I'd say this is a total comfort scent setup - everything smells like a Wellness treatment for me.

2 pass face shave, DFS. Surprised the KAI still holds up so well.

A chilled shave that I did before my Sunday late shift. 2 passes, DFS.

Today's EdP sample is a pretty interesting take on spicy Tobacco. Their fragrances are very unique, I think I might get at least one full size.

A very brisk 1-pass face shave before work. Got up pretty late, shave gel to the rescue.
This stuff is actually not as bad as other gels - it foams up slightly and doesn't gunk up safety razors too much.

Today I did two passes before work - what a difference this makes: no overly scratchy feeling after my shift was over.

I didn't match Excursion with the fitting YSL Fragrance, as I currently don't feel very thrilled about perfume. Only being able to wear it on clothes sucks.
