Shave of the Day Thread - 2022

[Ebonysw45]

Afternoon shave after a nice hike. The negroni hit the spot. Maybe a whisky in future. Off now to see Casablanca on the big screen.

Nice picture. Both of them. I love those old Bogart movies.

Always great to see at the Cinema. I’m amazed no one commented on the after shave choice.

How's that YAQI Slant?

How's that YAQI Slant?

I really like it.

I felt like a real novice when I first started using it because I'd cut myself up a bit and started to get a bit gun shy. That was kind of ridiculous since I Iove using straight razors. Once I started to treat it with the respect I do with a straight, I really enjoyed using it.

It's definitely not an every day razor but it's my go to when I haven't shaved for more than a couple of days.

Some of the reviews I've read say it's quite aggressive, even for a slant.

Did I say that? Ooh. That must have been the whisky talking, what would I know?

It's the only slant I've ever used so can't compare, but it is aggressive. You can certainly feel the blade against your skin.

I've love to buy another brand of slant one day.

IF RazoRock ever starts making the Wunderbar Slant again, I would highly recommend it.
