2023.07.16 SOTN:

  • Prep: Neutrogena Hydro Boost Cleanser

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

  • Razor: Henson AL13(+)

  • Blade: Gillette Perma-Sharp (1)

  • Lather: House of Mammoth Dammusi

  • Post Shave: Stirling Mentholated Unscented Witch Hazel and Aloe, Stirling Glacial Unscented Aftershave Balm, Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel-Cream Extra-Dry


Decided to go back to the (+) Henson with my trusty perma-sharps. A very good shave indeed, but I got in my head a little. I thought my neck hair was growing in a different way than I had previously believed, so I shaved with this new info in mind. I think I was wrong. Not a bad shave, but not the smoothest. I'll correct that on my next shave and see how that goes.

  • Preshave: Cold Water
  • Brush: Yaqi 24mm Synthetic ""Panda""
  • Razor: King C. Gillette DE Razor
  • Blade: Astra Superior Platinum (9)
  • Lather: Haslinger Algae
  • Post Shave: Williams Aqua Velva
  • Post Shave: Nivea After Shave Balm

Haslinger gets it done. A quick shave, with nearly the same setup as yesterday.

Have a good evening!
