10.09.2024 - Masala Connection pt. 2

  • Prep: warm water
  • Brush: vintage yellow bakelite handle w/ 22 mm SynBad knot
  • Razor: Leaf Thorn
  • Blade: snapped BIC Chrome Platinum
  • Lather: Los Jabones de Joserra - Masala Connection
  • Post-Shave: Thayer's Original toner; Phytorelax Aftershave scalp cream

-> 2-pass face & 1-pass head shave. Not great, but just right for a Tuesday.

Second use of Masala Connection. Today it was a bit tricky to lather - I chalk it up to inexperience, since I haven't shaved anywhere around my face for ~ 9 months and I am so used to lathering directly on my head. Combine this with an even more reduced 'canvas' due to a goatee and it's getting awkward. However, it smells good. It performs good and might even really take off once I'm back in the swing of things. Post Shave skin feel (don't you just love those weird words that come with niche hobbies?!) is rather good too, not on the level of ZM, WK or BM Omnibus but really solid. Also, since our weather abruptly went to fall temperatures it fits a little better than before

Also yes, aftershave scalp cream also works perfectly well on the face.
