Brush: AP Shave Co. 26 mm Silksmoke Flattop/Fan hybrid w/ Snakeskin handle
Lather: Stirling Soap - Gin & Tonic on the rocks
Post Shave: Thayer’s Cucumber facial spray; Natura Siberica ASB gel
Late night head shave. 1 pass just to clean the dome, one weeper behind the right ear suffered.
I think I have something called revenge bedtime procrastination. I should be asleep by now, but there’s simply no way I can see myself go to bed earlier than shortly before midnight in my time zone.
So today’s shave wasn’t so great. I thought I could now try different things out, see what sticks and what I could weed out. Unfortunately, both the soap and the razor didn’t have their best days. I know that the biggest margin for error is usually the hand wielding the brush or razor, but considering that yesterday’s MMOC shave felt milder than today is quite disappointing. I have decided that it’s time to get rid of the Greencult. My experience with it was mediocre at best from the start, so - no need to cling to it any longer.
Gin Tonic on the rocks wasn’t really bad, but also not really stellar either. I like the scent, but unfortunately those big Stirling soaps are like a bottomless pit. I enjoyed the menthol though, even though we actually got “May showers” around my area this evening with thunderstorms and hail. I was just vaping on my balcony when all hell broke loose. Bees were flung out of the air onto the floor of my balcony from the heavy rain. I tried my best to get them to a dry area near my wall, hopefully this helped them survive.
