    • Preshave: Cold Water
    • Brush: Zenith 506U XS Horse 🐎
    • Razor: Greencult GC 2.0 II
    • Blade: Astra Superior Platinum (18)
    • Lather: Cella Aloe Vera
    • Post Shave: Mennen Le Grand Large
    • Post Shave: Nivea After Shave Balm

    AA reboot: I’m back in Paris, and it’s 29 degrees in our flat (at nearly 11:00 PM). 🥵🥵

    What is stable?

    • brush

    All the rest has changed. Instead of the “artisan” Amber Fougère, I’m using the more industrial Cella Green (remaining in Italy, at approximately the same price point). The razor is a clear upgrade: the GC 2 gave me a closer shave in 2 passes than the DE 89 in 3. The aftershave is refreshing, and the balm is nice.

    Have a good night, and may the frost gods smile on us.

      Perhaps this has been covered already… but did you know that you’ve failed AA?!
