1 pass on the head, 2 on the face around a fresh henriquatre beard.
So I have to confess that I abruptly ended my November moustache experiment about a week ago. It was simply looking unkempt to me, no matter what I tried, so I buzzed everything off as I began to dread looking into mirrors. Since then, I grew out my beard until I had enough to go back to a full goatee/doorknocker/henriquatre. I realised that I like to have my facial hair short and uniform, so I am probably stuck in this limbo state of Schrödinger’s Facial Hair (having some kind of beard but at the same time kinda not). Currently it’s back down to 3 mm and I try not to obsess too much about it.
My head or rather the back of my neck still hasn’t healed up 100%, so this was another one pass WTG shave. Still comfortable despite the Hawk not being the best dome razor: it’s a bit cumbersome in certain areas.
This mutton base by HAGS doesn’t have a fancy name AFAIK, but it’s really easy to get very slick even with just a thin layer of soap. I rarely reach for the Hawk and it’s probably not only because it’s not very nimble for head shaving; it’s also rather harsh, but thankfully most irritation on my face where “trimmer bites” from my beard trim earlier today. It does the job, sure; yet I find it even kinda lacking for getting good lines/contours in comparison to my Leaf Thorn or the MMOC.
CotN and Dolce Vita is yet again a very sweet combo, both share a musk note but it’s kinda overshadowed by other more prominent scents. In CotN, it’s a powdery sweetness reminiscent of american barbershop soaps. In DV, it’s caramel. Usually sweet stuff is not my style, but since we had frosty minus degrees lately (Celsius NOT Fahrenheit, in case our american friends where worried) - it fits with a winter vibe. Have a nice weekend, everyone. I’ll work.
