Today's shave was a quick one as I have plans today so that means this shave has to be a quick one. I opted for the Haircut & Shave Ti Efficient as this will by my last dance with it. Its being sent off to its next dance partner to play with.
I did a quick face wash with some Dermologica cleanser and my Clarisonic Mia Men. Both of these are gems for sure. The cleanser is one of the best out there and when combined with the exfoliating action of the Mia Men, you get great results.
I loaded the TiE. with a third use Astra and away I went. I have to say, this razor is efficient and in a way that is noticeable and remarkable. At first I thought it bold for H&S Co. to use the word "efficient" in the name, thinking "damn, if they're going to call it out like that, it better be!" After having used this razor multiple times I can attest to this razor's uh, efficiency. The name does apply.
I whipped up a full bowl of lather with the Omega boar and the Phoenix Shaving CaD (CK-6) soap. This soap smells great! It's a great take on the classic barbershop scent. If you're a fan of barbershop scents you have to own this one. Three passes were done and I had a sweet bbs face.
I topped things off with some Phoenix Shaving Diver Down aftershave/cologne. Wow! I really like the scent profile on this one! It's smooth, sophisticated and lovely. I then rubbed in some Hydro Boost Gel-Cream. I've said it before but I'll say it again. This stuff is fantastic! It leaves your face feeling like you didn't just shave.
There you have it. A great shave was had and I'm off….
Shave on gentlemen!
