    • Post Shave: Thayer’s Aloe Vera toner; Aloe Vera gel + tattoo balm

    Just another unscented 1-pass head shave. The “Pink” blades are supposed to be mild, but I still find them plenty sharp (which isn’t bad per se).

    Inspired by @djundjila , I was brave enough to try out my Kamisori shavette again for lining up my “beard” (if you can call the light stubble around my moustache so). Everything went well with the cheek lines… But the neck line was ATG and my inexperience showed. About 3 weepers, but thankfully no cuts. Believe it or not, I used to be able to swing this thing to shave the sides of my head (wouldn’t recommend the curvy top and back of the head to anyone though!). So I definitely need to get more practice in.

    Funnily, aloe vera gel and tattoo balm work really well as a post shave for irritated skin. The lack of any perfume in both as well as the healing properties sure come in handy.
