00.00.2024 - Barberwood on the face

  • Prep: warm water
  • Brush: AP Shave Co. Snakeskin handle w/ 26 mm Silksmoke Flattop/Fan hybrid knot
  • Razor: Leaf Thorn
  • Blade: snapped BIC Chrome Platinum
  • Lather: HAGS - Barberwood
  • Post-Shave: HAGS - Barberwood AS toner

-> 2 pass face shave around the goatee. Two weepers in total, but a very comfortable shave regardless.

At the time of writing, there was no post in this thread. So it seems to be my duty to avoid a barren thread today!

The second use of Barberwood, this time on the face... but with better hydrated lather today! I'm still a bit rusty when it comes to face lathering, but it's getting better. Today's brush is possibly my favourite for the even spread of lather it can achieve, so that helped a lot.

This time the soap smelt a bit sweeter, similar to my other HAGS Creatures of the Night . Performance was way better though, the lather was very slick and also hydrated my skin well. The toner continues to impress on the face, as it really feels rich enough that I didn't feel the need for a balm. Since my skin is sensitive and dry in the jaw area, that's rare!

I now have an interesting barbershop scent to compare tomorrow's BVWSC soap against - really looking forward to tomorrow's shave!

I also look forward to it, but it'll be done very late today. Stressful shift...
