flake

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'shaving' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'head for victoria for one' is the wordplay.
'head' indicates taking the first letters.
'victoria for one' becomes 'lake' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
The first letter of 'for' is 'f'.
'f'+'lake'='FLAKE'

Can you help me to learn more?
