What is your most unique shave?

While my son was crashed out on the couch - I decided to experiment and see if I could come up with the coldest shave ever (even though it was 25 degrees outside). So......I started with a mentholated pre-shave, added some B&M Terrorade, lathered on some Chiseled Face Cryogen, and then finished off with a cold water rinse and splashed on some Wet the Face Cold Fusion aftershave splash. It didn’t hit me at first but when I did - I think I earned a new appreciation for those Polar Bear club swimmers …………

ok, that’s mine, what is yours?
 
I once lost a bet and had to do a dry shave... I had tomato face for a week.

Other than that, I’m always proud of myself when I can perfectly match a soap and aftershave that are completely different brands.

The most unique shave I’ve ever had was a couple years ago. I got my hands on Mennen Shaving cream and Skin Bracer aftershave from the 1940s. Used a 1951 Gillette Aristocrat. One of the best shaves I’ve ever had.

That sounds like a great shave (the second one, not the lost bet one lol)....it’s amazing how shave gear and products stand the test of time!
 
We’ve done lots of unique shaves in the Stunt Shaves series of the VLOG section.

Probably the two most unique would be:

the blindfolded shaves:

Stunt Shave: Hey, who turned the lights out (Blindfolded Shave)

Blindfolded Shave ! Come on guys, not as hard as you think. Let's see your post yours for May

and the DEvette shaves (DE razor with safety bar removed:

Stunt Shaves: DEvette or the Un-Safety Razor

Ok VLOGers..... here’s your next challenge. Time to turn up the “Stunt” in the Stunt Shaves! This time, we’ll be using a DEvette..... what’s that you ask? DE + shavette = DEvette. Basically, remove the bottom plate (safety bar or OC) from your 3 piece razor, and shave with the blade in direct...

I think for both those shaves - there would be blood 😬 I’ll have to check that out!
 
Probably this one.

Because...duh...Tabacaveg! Nectar of the gods, that stuff.
 
Nothing as exciting as above

1) Definitely for was the MMOC missing the hold tabs and i had no idea.
2) straight right off a 1200.
3) a full AdP suite of pre to post shave ridiculousness. OMG pure luxe
 
Before I began wet shaving, I shaved in the shower, not using a mirror. I think this gave me an advantage when I was a rookie wet shaver.
