Midnight Shave
Midnight Shave
As a CPAP user, a clean shaven face usually allows for a restful night with few or no air leaks from the mask.
Preshave Prep: Hot shower with Mitchell’s Wool Fat Bath Soap, including a thorough face wash.
Preshave: Proraso White Preshave
Shave bowl/scuttle: Savanna Shave Scuttle
Brush: Edwin Jagger Super Badger
Soap/cream: Mitchell’s Wool Fat
Razor: Rockwell 6S plates 2 & 4
Postshave: Nivea Shave Balm for Sensitive Skin
The Shave: Two passes with plate 4, one XTG & one ATG. Third pass with plate 2 ATG.
Results: BBS shave that still feels smooth at 9:30 Sunday morning. No nicks, weepers, cuts or irritation. Finishing up with plate 2 allows for more cleanup and doesn’t irritate the skin. I hear it cutting, but there is no feel of the blade at all. As for my CPAP, there were zero leaks and I slept well.
