... with the RazoRock Hawk V2 single-edge razor
Pre-shave: Proraso red
Razor: RazoRock Hawk (V2) SE
Blade: Kai Captain Mild Pink
Brush: The Guv'nor Pure Badger Hair
Cream: Taylor Of Old Bond Street Coconut Luxury Shaving Cream
Post-shave: Proraso
The Shave:
Unusually for me, I went into this shave with a two-day growth*, so I was interested to see what the RazoRock Hawk would do in the circumstances. It performed perfectly in conjunction with the Proraso pre-shave cream and the Taylor Of Old Bond Street** Coconut Luxury Shaving Cream. Two passes and a few minor touch ups here and there on my neck and I was done. Very impressive. Also - no irritation and no cuts, so happy faces all round***.
* Normally, I'd be so driven to distraction by two-day stubble that I'd be clawing my face off, but I got in late after spending a lot of the day waiting around for boats in the rain and travelling back from Venice and went to bed with - oh God! No! Say it isn't true! - prickly stubble on my face.
** I know that "TOBS" is the accepted abbreviation, but I just can't bring myself to use it. It's one short step from "TOBS" to "LOL", "PMSL", "YOLO" and giving people high-fives while shouting "AWESOME, DUDE!". I'm afraid I just couldn't live with myself. Plus, I'm British, so using the words awesome and dude just make me sound ... well, wrong, somehow. Like I'm trying too hard. DYKWIM?
*** Specifically, my happy face.
