Comments :
A year ago I decided to take photos of the stuff I used for the days shave, knowing full well it'll be another one-off event...


I'd either just give it up as a bad habit, or I'd not fit in, or some other reason would come along. Looking back, I've learned loads. I also remember thinking that I'll never get to use a straight razor, I was much more comfortable with DE's. Oh, and the occasional use of the electric shaver.

Since then, the same electric shaver's lost its charge, straight razors are slowly taking over the equipment drawer, shaving brushes are on the increase, and the smell of propellant has been replaced by sandalwood, grapefruit, smoky vetiver, and almond.

So, here's to the next years worth of shot-on-the-cheap photos.

Razor: Henckles & Hammesfahr
Brush: black badger
Lather: Cella
Aftershave: nivea balm
