Post-Shave: Moon Soaps Old School “balm”; Phytorelax Aftershave scalp cream ASB
-> 2 pass head shave. Same blade as my recent bloody experience, different razor. Very smooth now that it lost its initial “bite”!
Neon Sun is such a great scent and NO base a treat as usual. The label sent some warm thoughts about a Miami sundown my way, kinda nice in the current rainy weather over here. Both passes went by very comfortable, I guess it was mostly a mindset and skill issue on my part during my last awful shave. Today I was more relaxed and it went way better. I rarely use my golden BT/FW, but it’s a very charming vintage razor. Mild, efficient and the gold plating is chipped off in some places to give it a rough aesthetic. It’s the cool kind of vintage with lots of ‘mojo’.
In other news, I trimmed off the circle beard/goatee and now rock my Zappa look (stache, soul patch and stubble) again. Occasionally I might shave my face again, but currently the dry parts of my face (cheeks, jawline) need a longer recovery break. Thing is, I totally like myself better this way too - with a goatee, it’s just generic bald guy #815 looking back in the mirror. Generally, with facial hair it’s all about what suits you best and what feels nice - and with wetshaving, you also have the greatest tools for contouring and caring for your skin.
