• Pre-shave: Face wash w/ hot water
• Razor: Henson Mild (v1)
• Blade: Lord Platinums (3rd use)
• Brush: Yaqi Tiberwolf Synthetic 26mm
• Soap: The Goodfellas “Abysso”
• Passes: 2 x WTG pass on face and neck
• Post-shave: Alum, TFS witch hazel
• Growth: 10 days (very thick & long stubble)
• Result: Presentable on the face, a massacre on the neck

Oof, what can I say. I used a dull blade, an Henson and too little soap. This time around I thought I’d only do two WTG passes because the last ATG pass had left eight small scars on my cheeks, which became visible upon stretching the skin. Then, magically, they disappeared overnight. So maybe it was some really minor surface nicks, IDK. Neck took a hit, though. I think I’ll shave again in two days, was left with some hair on my jawline.

Black Friday came and went, didn’t buy anything. Have minor regrets, wanted to get a 6C and some SV, but didn’t allow myself to pull the trigger. Then today wasted some money on other, non-shaving-related things. So it goes.

Have a good one, ladies and gents!
