2023.09.08 SOTD:

  • Prep: Neutrogena Hydro Boost Cleanser

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

  • Razor: Gem Jr. 1912

  • Blade: Personna Gem PTFE (4)

  • Lather: Catie's Bubbles Waterlyptus

  • Post Shave: Alum, Stirling Mentholated Unscented Witch Hazel and Aloe, House of Mammoth Rumble Aftershave Splash w/ Permafrost, Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel-Cream Extra-Dry


First time using Catie's Bubbles. It's a fantastic soap you've made, /u/C_Bubbles. Waterlyptus smells fantastic, and I'll definitely have to check out more CB stuff in the future.

Shave number four with the Gem, and same as before. Good shave, but not close at all. Plus, my ATG was very unpleasant to the point that I didn't attempt at all (I'm 95% this is a result of my shave yesterday and not the fault of the Gem). Still working on perfecting it. I didn't ride the cap entirely today, held it at the slightest of angle. Will try again tomorrow; I will not be bested by a hunk of metal.
