Share your Shave of the Day for Tuesday!
26.08.2025 | Celebratory Shave
- Brush: RazoRock Beehive 28 mm
- Razor: GEM Micromatic Bullet Tip/Flying Wing, gold plated
- Blade: Personna GEM PTFE
- Lather: HAGS - Barberwood
- Post-Shave: HAGS - Barberwood toner
- Passes & Info: 2 passes on the head, single ATG pass on the neck; kinda rough shave due to a new GEM blade, still enjoyed it very much.
It is done. Finally, I passed the last exam today and I aced it! It was an oral exam where we had to draw envelopes with different case studies and questions regarding nursing topics. My first draw was shite, but thankfully you get another: woohoo! A child w/ neurodermatitis, blood sampling, medical advice for the parents, skincare for ND and the impact of chronic illnesses on young people. Totally up my alley, so I passed with flying colours (A/1). Couldn’t be happier since.
I wanted at least a short shave to celebrate, but in the end it was enough lather for 3+ passes. So I went with it, even though the shave was a bit rough thanks to the new GEM blade. Well, I wanted to use my only golden razor. Still worth it - as much as I dislike the generative AI tub art of this soap, the scent is so good. A bit sweeter than I usually like my barbershops, but at least the toner brings more of the woody notes that its name promises. This isn’t the best HAGS base IMHO, even though “Hathor” sounds like the premium line. To me, the best is undoubtedly the mutton tallow base which seems to be a common preference in the wetshaving hobby. IDK, maybe sheep are really slick & greasy?!
Tomorrow we’ll get our final results of all exams in the afternoon and on Friday our graduation certificate. I’m really stoked 👌🏻
Congrats! Well done!
Thanks! 🙏🏻
Congratulations man!
Thanks! It’s like a huge burden was lifted from me.
I’m sure, you’ve been preparing for a long while!
That’s wonderful news!

3 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
I went back to 3 passes for the day and got a very comfortable, BBS shave for my effort. Like last year, I find that not stropping the razor results in no noticable loss of edge performance.
