    Damn, it’s May already?! This year goes by fast … Anyways, 2 pass head shave with very refreshing software. Two passes seem to be my gold standard for a great slick dome. 1 is serviceable and 3 just overkill.

    Since I haven’t shaved since Saturday I had quite a lot of stubble to knock down. No problem with an MMOC though (thanks @djundjila since this one was a gift by him). I feel like SE razors are really good for head shaving if you’re willing to slow down a bit. Especially with this efficient beast, taking it slow and steady is the key.

    Rope Swing was chosen since today we had summer-like temperatures. Having WS-23 instead of menthol is a nice touch - this is known as ‘Koolada’ in the vaping world and is generally used for fresh stuff where you don’t want the menthol aroma. It also succeeds here in shaving soap, as the fresh green scent is not masked by strong menthol. You know, sometimes I forget what soaps I actually have and today I realised that I could probably get rid of about 40% of it. Sounds shocking, but actually my taste has quite changed since my beginnings. Rope Swing would stay, but Cannonball must definitely go…
