- Passes & Info: 2 pass head shave. Trying something else pays off: the most comfortable and smooth shave I had in weeks!

Today I was in the mood for trying something different than usual. Since my nose is still a bit stuffed, I wanted to go with a really harsh scent. Since I used Stag recently, my choice was Stirling ToF: this is the smell of your clothes after a long night sitting by a huge campfire. Kinda evokes funny memories from my childhood, when we could still make fires in the autumn season and it wasn’t prohibited.

The brush was stuck in my dopp bag for almost a year and since I never travel, it hasn’t been used since then. I have to be honest: it vastly outperforms any RazoRock brush. Those Omega fibers are really dense and don’t cling to each other, so it was super easy to get a great lather today. I should stop being cheap on shaving brushes, it really feels leagues better to use a high-quality one.

Then the one thing RR does best: razors and razor handles. I actually got this one because it looked intriguing and unique to me. It’s smooth but shaped like a bamboo cane with pronounced ridges. Turns out that it is probably a match made in heaven with the aluminium Cyber head: it’s nimble, has great handling with every type of grip and despite the smooth surface, never once did I lose my grip. That was seriously the best and easiest head shave I ever achieved with the Cyber Medium, which was my main goal when I bought it.

So today the planets finally aligned and I had an awesome & blissful Sunday dome shave. Hope everyone of you had a great weekend!
