Shaving

ESA astronaut Thomas Pesquet returned to the International Space Station on 24 April 2021 taking a new ride to space, the SpaceX Crew Dragon launching from Florida. The trip took 23 hours and Thomas took a series of images from the capsule and shared them on his social media channels.

Commenting on this image, he said: "Life on board series: Shaving (demonstrated by yours truly). We used our tablets in selfie camera mode as mirros and though we were smart... before we realized NASA and SpaceX had packed tiny real shaving mirrors in our hygiene kit in the capsule!"

Thomas was launched to the International Space Station for his second mission, Alpha, on 23 April 2021. He will spend six months living and working on the orbital outpost where he will support more than 200 international experiments in space.
