2023.07.29 SOTD:

• Prep: Neutrogena Hydro Boost Cleanser & hot shower

• Brush: AKA Brushworks Amethyst Watchman with 26mm AP Shave Co G5C

• Razor: Gillette Slim Adjustable

• Blade: Gillette Perma-Sharp (4)

• Lather: Seaforth! Sea Ice Lime

• Post Shave: Stirling Mentholated Unscented Witch Hazel and Aloe, Seaforth! Sea Ice Lime Aftershave Splash, Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel-Cream Extra-Dry

Did things a little different today. 1) I shaved after my shower, and 2) I said, "screw beard mapping!" and just did an down, across, and up shave on my 3 passes. Settings on the Slim were 5-5-3. Overall, not a bad shave at all. My beard grows at an angle, so it wasn't the closest shave, but it was comfortable. I think my next shave I'll try down, up, across (from the middle of my neck outward) and see how that goes.

Two pass, close but not too close shave. No irritation, cuts nor nicks.

Love me some complex perfumy but clean Cerberos Fougere to After rain dark damp Petichor.
