Brush: AP Shave Co. Snakeskin w/ 26 mm Silksmoke Flattop/Fan hybrid knot
Razor: RazoRock Cyber Medium w/ Superknurl handle; KAI Captain J-7 shavette
Blade: Tatra (Cyber); KAI Captain Protouch MG (J-7)
Lather: Wholly Kaw - Transition
Post-Shave: Zingari Man - The Master, recovery splash; moisturiser
Passes & Info: 1 pass with the Cyber on the head and the kamivette for beard lineup again. Nice smooth shave!
Way earlier shave than usual - I wanted to take some selfies for a project and my evil perfectionism wouldn’t let me until I underwent a meticulous grooming routine. So I did this shave after trimming down my stubble to a fairly short length. Had to watch out with the shavette, as it’s pretty easy to cut off too much then. But I managed nicely. I’m impressed by how good going ATG on my neck feels. Especially without any WTG or XTG pass beforehand…
Today I totally nailed the WK lather, it was nice, wet and slick without being too sloppy and flying everywhere. WK’s tallow base is good for me in terms of skincare and I wanted something that won’t give me any irritation. Transition smells really inoffensive, like a nice load of fresh laundry out of the washing machine. Might sound weird, but that’s the first metaphor that came to my head and the scent would really be awesome for a laundry detergent or laundry fragrance. It has a very “clean” vibe, so to say.
Early shifts still suck and I have to take up yet another one on Friday due to cases of sickness again. FML, I wonder when my reduced hours finally will have a noticeable effect 😮💨
