1 pass head shave at night (in my time zone at least). Good shave.
As I mentioned yesterday, I started reading American Psycho and apart from the shaving brush passage that stood out to me, Bateman also applies moisturiser before he shaves as some kind of pre-shave. Just out of curiosity, I tried this today - the results aren’t really convincing me to do this again. It wasn’t bad, but there was just no positive effect to be felt from this.
Something else I tried out that I saw in a video by YouTuber Baldcafe is starting my head shave from the back of the head. I already tried this for 2 pass shaves, but today was the first time I actually started this way. Well, I can see his reasoning: the worst part is behind you after that (pun intended) since the sides and top of the head are a walk in the park for experienced head shavers. OTOH, I generally like to give the coarser hair around my crown a bit more time to be softened up by my lather. But well, you’ll never know if you don’t try out some things.
MazaGran is a delightful gourmand scent that smells like a noble coffee house. I’m glad to have a matching set of it and the WestMan base is very agreeable for my sensitive scalp.
