-> again a single pass both on the dome and around the goatee, plus a bit of buffing/contouring for the beard.

Safety razors are totally superior for my skin and for getting crisp beard lines. At least in comparison to cartridges, I am not experienced with open blades except AC shavettes. GTB is one of my feel-good scents, it cheers me up. Much needed in the current hot phase of the exam period.

So Day 1 is behind me, I think it was enough to pass at least, but I don’t expect anything better than a 3/C. I know it’d be very theoretical before, but this was a lot of dry theory… I gave it my all tho and that’s what matters. I kinda look forward to tomorrow which should be more on the practical side, even though I anticipate something about children/pregnancy which really isn’t my strong suit (I work with old folks in a nursing home). Nevertheless, I am eager to get it done! Let’s go!
