Post Shave: Thayer’s Aloe Vera toner; Natura Siberica ASB gel
Fragrance: Dior - Eau Sauvage EdP
A quick single pass headshave I did before today’s late shift. Not very luxurious, but it got the job done in a short time.
I guess the main part about Headblade products was that they are/were sold as a complete system: razors, shaving gel and aftershave products specially targeted towards bald people. It was innovative, sure; but for the most part it’s just very gimmicky. It’s actually worse than a normal cartridge razor for shaving behind the ears due to the small size. The Moto was probably their best razor, but unfortunately it doesn’t use the 2-blade cartridges. The S4 is based on the ATX design. Unfortunately, most products marketed towards headshavers are simply marketing gimmicks. You can use the same products you use for your face, although I personally don’t recommend alcohol aftershaves for your scalp. Given that, I will use up my current stash of HB 2 and not get any replacements thereafter. Safety razors, no matter if DE or SE, just work the same or better for me.
The star of today was my fragrance - Eau Sauvage is described by Dior as “once revolutionary, now a timeless classic”. It surely is a very wearable fragrance and very different to the modern mainstream Sauvage. However, to me it’s more of a summer scent. For next year, I will try to get more into niche fragrances made by small artisans. Some mainstream offerings smell very good, but they lack definition if you know what I mean - that little “roughness around the edges”, the experimental, the avant-garde. You smell like the nice guy next door and that’s simply not me. Took me long enough to find out that I don’t really appreciate that.
Hmm, that would definitely be an interesting choice. 😄
I kinda hoped the Oud sample I used today would do the trick, but unfortunately it’s not as intense as for example Valley of Ashes in scent strength.
