Two pass, close but not too close shave. Lop'd tip of pimple, thankfully not too much bleeding.
Cardamom in Dranks might be a bit much just before going to bed, oh well.

Here is my setup for the month: https://i.imgur.com/BdcZCyd.jpg
Overall, a very good shave to start the month. It was over 100F all day today (clocked my phone saying 105F at one point), and the AC on my side of my office decided it wanted to take some time off. Wonderful timing. At least my shave was cooling :)
I had a few nicks to being careless, but as usual, the slim worked incredibly well.

- Preshave: Cold Water
- Brush: Zenith 506U XS Horse 🐎
- Razor: Edwin Jagger DE89
- Blade: Astra Superior Platinum (2)
- Lather: The Goodfellas Smile Amber Fougère
- Post Shave: Old Spice After Shave
I will be doing an Austere August of sorts, using the products I have at my parents place. I was no fan initially of Amber Fougère, but now I rather enjoy the scent. Also, it doesn't go too bad with Old Spice.
We'll see how my face will be doing without an after shave balm.
Have a good night!
