2 pass head shave and beard contouring. Great shave!
Tomorrow is the day. Written part of the midterm exams! I wanted to look supreme, so this was a great opportunity for a smooth shave.
The Special Edition HAGS did for the YourShaving Anniversary is actually called "Apocalypse". Not really fitting in the name, since there's nothing abysmal about the performance. The scent is a citrusy masculine aquatic just perfect for the current summer temperatures over here. In fact, I couldn't use the soap stick the usual way since it's a really soft soap. I smeared some on my dome and just spread it on my hands before lathering it up with the brush.
Now, I don't know what of the many bases that HAGS has this one is, but whoa... it was crazy slick and felt damn good to use. In fact I only wanted one pass at first, but then did two plus shaving around the beard to use it to the fullest degree. The balm is impressive too - 2 pumps for the dome, one for the face and it absorbs quickly while leaving my skin nicely moisturized. That set is a winner for me!
Good luck!
Thanks! It went well. Two hours were really rushing by, I'm glad that I was able to write something down for every single question. This should be more than enough to pass. Now it's finally time to relax!
