• Prep: warm water
• Razor: Leaf Thorn (Fig)
• Blade: Derby Premium half DE
• Brush: RazoRock 400 Noir SE 24 mm
• Lather: Ariana & Evans - Boca Negra
• Post Shave: Moon Soaps Old School balm

One pass head and neck shave. Slowly getting around to try out more of my new soaps…

Boca Negra is very pleasant. I think Peter actually took customer feedback to heart and didn’t add too much fragrance here. I personally don’t know how much of an upgrade the K2e base is compared to Kaizen 1/2, feels pretty minor since the other bases were already good too. The scent is very coffee and spice forward, so it pairs well with Moon’s Old School. The Thorn continues to impress, now it’s a tad milder since I got a few turkish barber blades for it. Glad to now have another modern SE razor in my arsenal that feels as good as the vintage razors.

Originally I wanted to take some vacation time to have next week off… But unfortunately, due to a staff shortage I need to work for two days, starting tomorrow. To make matters worse, it’s the early shift. Well, FML. But somebody’s got to do it.
