A man with a very impoverished start to life in the Scotland Road area of Liverpool and even though he made for a better life he never forgot where he came from. And in his mind he never left.
A man with bad taste in music, but I forgive him. He more than likely thought the same about me. But here is one of his favourites Jimmy Shand who for the past 38 years I came to avoid the best I could. But it's not my day
But I will give it that this was one superb shave in memory of a lifetime wet shaver. Jimmy you'll be missed.
And since I had 38 years of Jimmy Shand you can have this from me.....Hope you are listening
Dec. 30, 2021 - Facial sacrifice
Damn - I don't think I had such bad shave to date yet. Chopped myself up quite a bit.
- Prep: Hot Shower
- Brush: Declaration grooming B11 28mm Snowblivion
- Razor: ATT SE2 atlas handle
- Blade: Feather super pro (and here I thought it was feather pro) (3)
- Lather: House of Mammoth - Santa noir
- Post Shave: Alum block, House of Mammoth - Santa noir splash, Bluebeards revenge aftershave balm (aloe-vera)
I thought I had Feather pro in the razor, but turned out I put feather super pro... Paired with fairly aggressive razor and me being not as careful as I'd be knowing super pro is in there... Safe to say, across two passes with feather super pro (for atg I switched to the actual feather pro) I did get a fair few weepers and one small cut. Worst shave I had to date, definitely!
Face was left a bit sore afterwards with irritation in quite a few places (lit up like a christmas tree lol) - so cold water splash it was, alum block to stop the bleeding, Santa noir splash and then after 10 or so minutes good dose of bluebeards revenge aftershave balm - that includes a nice dose of aloe vera. Face is still feeling slightly rough towards the end of the day.
You live or you learn I guess - will see how face feels tomorrow and then decide whether a day of rest is in order or not.
My condolences to you and your family are this difficult time.
Thanks! I’ll grab one - I’m sure it’ll come in handy seeing as I like playing with aggressive razors hahatake a day off and next time if it happens I recommend this. I only use it in extreme cases but it's really great
