2023.09.22 SOTD:
Prep: Neutrogena Hydro Boost Cleanser & Stirling Mentholated Pre-Shave Soap
Brush: Paragon Shaving Plisson knot (28mm) with Paragon handle
Razor: Chiseled Face Legacy AL
Blade: Gillette Perma-Sharp (1)
Lather: Zingari Man The Watchman
Post Shave: Alum, Stirling Mentholated Unscented Witch Hazel and Aloe, Zingari Man The Watchman aftershave balm, Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel-Cream Extra-Dry
Today's shave is brought to you by /u/OnionMiasma. He provided a wonderful (and overkill!) care package which included the soap and aftershave (along with the frag version, which I also used).
Great shave today. The fresh blade made a world of difference in the razor. Very nice and easy shave that ended with a close shave. Curious how it would fare with a fresh wizamet.
First time using Zingari Man. First use, pretty nice products. I made the lather a little too watery, but it was still very good. The scent on these is great, but still not quite what I'm looking for (in terms of ozone pre-tornado scent). I'll find what I'm after eventually!
