First real shave for a while, as over the last few months (since October) I'd grown a beard and the only shaves I had in this time were below the jaw/cheekbones.
Has anyone here had a beard before? To begin with, it's really itchy then it grows out and is less itchy for a few weeks then the itchyness really returns with a vengeance, requiring combing, shampooing and so on but it gets to a point where I literally couldn't having the mass of hair on my face any longer and hacked it off.
The first stage required using scissors, and the clippers on grade 1; crikey the hair gets everywhere, I did that yesterday. The second stage I undertook today, I managed to get a pretty good result with 3 passes. I'm very impressed with the Gillette New OC, much more efficient than my other vintage Gillettes and was very smooth paired with the sharp 7 Yellow.
Feels good to be fully clean shaven after months.
Have a good day gents.
