2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
A Cerberus celebration today. I don’t know why they did it, but this HoM, DG, and NO collaboration is terrific.
Cerberus ++;
Yeah, I used Theme Thursday as an excuse to pull out the trifecta again. The artisans just killed it with this one.
Artisan Appreciation

Use as many artisan and/or collab products as possible. Both software and hardware encouraged.
Interesting metric, this. I won’t pretend that the software products today harmonize well, but they do rack up quite the artisan count and I got a good shave. Depending on whether you accept the Gem Cutlery Company and Pinaud Clubman as artisans, I get to between 10 and 12 artisans:

So today seems to be collab day. The only soap that I have that fits the bill is GF2 by SW. The scent for it was developed by Shawn Maher so that’s as good of a collab I can get.
Gravefruit II reminded me of warmer days, a very welcome reminiscence to summer during a very cold period. Today we had -13°C in the morning and everything was covered in ice. Tomorrow it’s supposed to be a bit milder, but more icy surfaces.
One pass head shave. The Blaze with the stainless steel Bamboo style handle works good for head shaving, the grooves on the handle are really nice. However, despite the fresh RPL blade, my shave wasn’t as close as usual. But good enough for nursing school tomorrow.
This EdP sample, while pleasant, is sadly again something that doesn’t seem very interesting to me. Nothing really stands out. No complaints but also no compliments on it either.

Once upon a time, @Old_Hiker@sub.wetshaving.social mentioned that he didn’t soak his boar brushes. Today I decided I would step into his shoes.
A short run under warm water (30-45 seconds, maybe?) and it was good to go. Just as good, if not better, than a 10-15 minute soak.
This brush is, of course, already broken in most of the way, so maybe a soak is a good idea with newer boar brushes.

Great shave.It is very cold outside today. It was probably not the best choice with menthol but it’s a good scent.
