Share your Shave of the Day for Wednesday!

  • Tridi 3 Nivôse an 234 de la Révolution, jour de Bitume

    • Brush: Yaqi 26mm Synthetic Bingcha (Iced Tea)
    • Razor: Man-Hoshi 24 (2)
    • Lather: Woolly Wash Soapery Night at the Pub
    • Postshave: Naissance 702 Witch Hazel
    • Postshave: TFS Witch Hazel & Oak
    • Postshave: Nivea After Shave Balm

    This is the December installment of the Buena Vista Wetshaving Social Club. The scent was bay-rummy to me, and seemed highly appropriate for this time of the year. The lather did not explode in the bowl as other US-artisan soaps use to do, but it produced a serviceable lather. I was asthonished that the second ingredient was beer 🍻

    I used for the first time the asymmetric razor – I used it like it was a standard symmetric one, and that was probably not a good idea. I will have to check how such razors are supposed to be used, when you shave yourself.

    Happy Christmas to everybody!

      I “ain’t no expert” (as we Americans say), but I think using a slant razor in the same way you use a standard one gives you the benefit of the “Gillette Slide” (slicing motion) without the need to actually slide across the face. Merry Christmas! Hope it is a good one for you.
