2 passes on both head and face, the latter since the henriquatre is finally back. Using two different setups to test the features of the WSDB SOTD generator.

Well, here I am again. The last few days were quite stressful for me tbh, so I felt like diving back into wetshaving as a hobby with a interesting experiment. Both head and face got a dry trim earlier today, so I wondered what would feel better: soap and brush or brushless cream/gel that’s applied with my hands? To the surprise of probably no one in this hobby sphere, the soap won by a landslide. The only upside of this brushless stuff that’s a hybrid between a shaving cream and a gel is that it was semi-transparent - so I could see the lines better. Oh, and I killed the remaining cream in the tube and don’t need any more of it now.

Now it isn’t like the face shave was awful, the result isn’t bad and totally serviceable. But my skin doesn’t feel that nice. I guess it reminded me way too much about how I used to shave: disposable razors, cheap shave gel and drugstore ASB. So honestly, safety razors only wouldn’t make it special to me. At least not on their own. I fell in love with the full package, from preparing the lather to post-shave shenanigans.

At first I wanted to go for the Don Logan look of moustache and goatee barely connected, but it’s still a bit short for that. I like how it gives me a cleaner, more well-kempt appearance - stubble beards are, despite their easygoing relaxed look, quite troublesome to maintain and get right. Plus I need to appear a bit more authoritative with job interviews coming up soon. Fingers crossed ✌🏻
