(Face & Head Shave)
A new eclectic shave set up to start the month.
The inexpensive Wilkinson Sword shaving quartet worked together superbly. It just goes to show you don't need to spend a great amount on shaving products to a close acceptable shave. There is something satisfying about it.
The WS classic blade may not be the most assertive DE blade but they are super smooth which is something I like in a blade over aggressive sharpness all in all its a good blade which pairs up with the WS TTO razor very nicely and a great choice for head shaving.
As it's been a while since I done a head/dome shave with a DE razor which took longer for me to get my technique & shaving confidence after the long run using my Cartridge razors.
Overall the final result was BBS smooth with no irritation, or little Japanese flags appearing under the lather in between each pass.
Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Cien Cocoa Butter Body Lotion.
A very comfortable enjoyable close combined face & head shave, the cocoa butter body lotion is ideal for the bracing winter elements.
My face & precious swede are feeling smooth and smelling divine.
Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.
