So much for not shaving for the rest of the year - I felt irritated by the stubble, and decided to get rid of it. In order to keep frag burn to a minimum, I bowl lathered, and only did 2 passes.
Merry Christmas to all of you!
Welcome back!
Edit: and merry Christmas to you too!
Thanks and greetings to Switzerland!

I think of Christmas as a time of giving. So I gave myself a 3-pass shave with this Vespers setup. Yep. Great shave today. Merry Christmas if you celebrate it!

Not Christmas themed, sure… but it was gift to myself. Tub kill!
That’s 2 tub kills in 2 days. Quite the thrill.
The frag was an xmas gift from my wife, and it’s great.
That’s 2 tub kills in 2 days.

Great shave. I am finally starting to enjoy these alcohol free splashes from Macduffs. Great scent even though it’s seasonal I’ll be grabbing it all winter.

I’m enjoying this mini AA with the Moos and the repeater. The brush will probably never become my favourite, but it’s not a bad travel brush at all.

- Prep: head & face peeling
- Razor: Stando Perun
- Blade: BIC Chrome Platinum
- Brush: RazoRock 400 Noir SE
- Lather: Noble Otter - Neon Sun
- Post Shave: Thayer’s Aloe Vera toner; Natura Siberica ASB gel
The one Christmas day I had off… And I mostly spent it with housework and eating with my parents. Well, at least a luxury head shave was to be done:
It’s been a while since I did any elaborate pre-shave routine. But today I tried a new peeling by Natura Siberica that I got along with the ASB gel. Actually, quite pleasant - but maybe too much exfoliation before a shave.
I also took my time to shave the dome and that made it a lot more enjoyable again. I lost a bit of time there, but in the end it was worth it. Neon Sun is still totally awesome to use. I also did some contours around my moustache and stubble beard which went really well with a little bit of lather I had left in the brush. My skin felt really slick and nourished after this shave; a testament to the good ingredients of the soap. I love this feeling when the towel almost slips off my head!
Hope everyone has a good and relaxed Christmas so far. Tomorrow I will work the early shift, then it’s just two late shifts and that wraps it up at the old place. I’m kinda sentimental about it all, even though I know it was the right decision…
