    • Prep: head wash
    • Razor: Gillette Sensor (modern version)
    • Blade: Gillette Sensor 2-blade cartridge
    • Brush: Omega Roma Colosseo 31 mm
    • Lather: HAGS Apocalypse soap stick
    • Post Shave: Natura Siberica ASB gel

    The electric head shaver I brought with me was simply getting too irritating for my skin so I bought a cheap re-launch of the Gillette Sensor yesterday (with a flimsy plastic handle instead of metal, but whatever - it’s a pure travel option anyway)

    This shave was rather nice. 2-blade cartridges give me the least irritation and despite no fancy pivot mechanisms or flexballs, it was a solid head shave. It’s rather funny that HAGS just pressed the soft soap into a stick format. I use it by smearing it a bit on top of my dome, then spread it all over with wet hands before lathering it up with the brush. I really wish soap sticks would still be available in drugstores around here, but no such luck. I really miss the option of a safety razor though, so I think about getting a Feather Popular for my travel bag again.
