- Post Shave: Barrister and Mann – Le Grand Chypre
The 11-year old has been at Space Camp this week. Graduation/check-out is tomorrow, which means I get to spend today traveling up there to pick her up. And since my company has declared Monday an impromptu holiday, that means I woke up this morning on day 1 of a 6 day weekend. Nice.
Decided I wanted to smell extra fancy today, so I broke out Le Grand Chypre for my head shave. I also decided I didn’t want to have to think too hard about my shave, so I reached for my post-war Tech. Whipped up a nice lather and shaved my dome largely on autopilot.
This was my first experience with a 7am Hi Platinum Durablade. I picked them up from Maggard’s a while back just for shiggles. Not a bad blade on the first shave. But I don’t know if any blade has ever really disappointed me in the post-war Tech (aside from a Shark). I’ll give it a try in another razor later in the weekend.
