- Brush: TGS Galaxy 26 mm
- Razor: Razorine Flatboy 73
- Blade: Tatra
- Lather: Los Jabones de Joserra - The Witcher
- Post-Shave: alum block; Zingari Man - The Master; Alterra Men ASB
- Passes & Info: 2 pass face shave around a circle beard. Rough shave, unfortunately.
So another time of going back to a partial beard, perhaps for the fifteenth time this year?... This time it might actually last without the exam stress, who knows.
Unfortunately this shave wasn't that great. After trimming today, my skin was kinda feeling rough already. The soap had a slight burn once I applied the lather to my face. The Razorine Flatboy is good for detailed crisp line work, so it should rock for partial beards and moustaches. Yet the blade felt a bit like it's tugging in certain spots, especially on my jawline. Had a few tiny blood spots around the beard part so I actually needed 3 different post-shave products to get that under control again.
So thanks to being stupid, I now have a multitude of different variables that might have caused this:
- Dry skin due to cold windy weather
- Frag burn from a soap ingredient
- Unfamiliarity with the new aggressive razor
- The Tatra blades perform well on my scalp, but aren't suited for my hard beard hair
- Aurora Borealis? Russian hacker groups? The Illuminati?
Anyways, I smell great now but my face burns. I don't know why it dislikes shaving so much when any kind of partial beard is clearly the better look for me instead.
Have a good day/evening/night!
