19.11.2024 - Travel Speick shave
2 passes on the head (one WTG with a safety razor, ATG with a Headblade) and 1 pass for the neckline WTG. A very smooth and comfortable shaving experience.
So I am actually travelling - just a short trip until Thursday, but still nice. A mix of wellness, sightseeing and shopping is planned. So I will do my BVWSC shave tomorrow in an unfamiliar bathroom, but today's shave was already really gooooood.
Speick shaving cream can get really slick for me: my modus operandi is applying the cream on my wet scalp, spreading it evenly with wet hands and then use a soaked shaving brush to really lather it up good. Some in the hobby tend to frown upon creams, but it all depends on the right technique.
Unfortunately my Feather Popular is seemingly broken - the safety bar is so far misaligned that it didn't have any problems with the long stubble on my dome. The blade gap was like a tiny abyss I was gazing into on one side, so I only did a WTG pass with it. Luckily, I brought another cartridge razor as a backup besides the HB.
Have a nice day or evening, folks! Looking forward to tomorrow's BVWSC event โ๐ป
