2023.07.27 SOTN:

  • Prep: Neutrogena Hydro Boost Cleanser

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

  • Razor: Gillette Slim Adjustable

  • Blade: Gillette Perma-Sharp (3)

  • Lather: HoM Kryptonite

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


First off, I need to say thanks to /u/mitosismonkey on reddit for sending me a smush of both Kryptonite and Sonder. I really appreciate it. Kryptonite is a fantastic lather, but I'm not entirely sold on the scent. It's very nice, but I would see myself reaching for Sea Ice Lime over Kryptonite personally. My overall shave was good, but I had two issues: 1) got a little quick going around my upper lip and cut myself slightly, and 2) got cocky on my neck and did touch-ups without lather. Very stupid. Still, though, since I had my Slim on 3 during that time (for the ATG pass) it wasn't even that bad. I just have to quit being stupid :)

Overall, a good shave with the Slim, using 5-4-3 on the WTG-XTG-ATG passes.

After a while without shaving, I got sloppy, and some bleeding ensued.

Have a good night!
