(Face & Head Shave) (Shave Stick Week)
A new shave set up to start the weekend...After the comfortable close shaves with the Merkur 34C recently I've decided to do a head shave with this little razor. The verdict?
I wasn't quite sure if the 34C/V-SM blade duo would be efficient enough for head shaving as I normally choose one of my Injector razors or a more aggressive razor/blade setup for my head shaves as my head stubble is very coarse and tends to dull blades far quicker than with my face shaves... However the Super-Max didn't fail to perform with enough efficiency with no indication of feeling tuggy or dulling throughout both shaves.
It's been a while since i used the la toja shave stick, another item I've had in my den for a long time which to be honest another shaving soap i've infrequently used in the past.
The La Toja stick like the Lea stick has a good slickness & post shave I really like the fragrance of the this shave stick, it's got a fresh clean fragrance, which to my nose reminds me of dove soap with a masculine edge to it.
Another enjoyable close comfortable acceptable face and head shave with no errors to report. Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Nivea Men Fresh moisturising Gel.
My face & precious swede are feeling cool smooth, & smelling divine.
Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.
