2023.08.27 SOTD (#UNCHALLENGE shave #27):

  • Prep: Neutrogena Hydro Boost Cleanser

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

  • Razor: Gillette Slim Adjustable

  • Blade: Gillette Perma-Sharp (1)

  • Lather: Seaforth! Sea Ice Lime

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


AA Day 27! Did a quick 2 pass-shave with some lather that was probably over hydrated. Still good though. I've noticed an issue with my soap tub, though. Anyone know what this could be? I've never seen it before.*

*give me a break. I've never been able to make that joke before.

I've seen this a few times before, and it's nothing to worry about.

August 27, 2023

  • Preshave: Proraso Green Preshave
  • Brush: Zenith 506U XS Horse 🐎
  • Razor: Greencult GC 2.0 II
  • Blade: Astra Superior Platinum (26)
  • Lather: Abbate y La Mantia Marduk
  • Post Shave: Mennen Le Grand Large
  • Post Shave: Nivea After Shave Balm

For some reason, I had to prepare a pâte à crêpes after lathering up. Now I can say that the lather of Marduk dries up suite a bit during cooking. So plan accordingly.

Have a good evening!
