Time for a great shave! After the debacle yesterday, I decided to shave with a razor I haven’t shaved with in some time, my Blackland Vector. After loading it with a Schick Proline blade I launched into what turned out to be an excellent shave.
The new Alpha Shaving brush generated that nice thick paste that was then face and head lathered into that thick, yogurty, glistening MWF lather that has served me so well this month. I’d forgotten how using the Vector feels like sweeping away the whiskers effortlessly. Two passes - WTG and ATG - did the trick.
The beauty of this razor was the way it glided over the shave surface without disturbing yesterday’s injuries. Given the state of my dome and Adam’s Apple, this near BBS shave was a welcome change from yesterday. I feel clean, smooth and refreshed.
RAZOR: Blackland Vector
BLADE: Schick Proline
PREP: Cold water rinse
BRUSH: Alpha Shaving T400 Synthetic
SOAP: Mitchell’s Wool Fat
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by Thayers Lavender WH and Florida Water finished w/ Lisa’s Naturals Balm
