2023.07.18 SOTN:

  • Prep: Neutrogena Hydro Boost Cleanser

  • Brush: AP Shave Co 24mm cashmere

  • Razor: Henson AL13(+)

  • Blade: Gillette Perma-Sharp (2)

  • Lather: Maggard London Barbershop

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


Decided to shave with only 1 day of rest instead of 2 for a couple of reasons. 1) just to try, and 2) to prepare for AA. I only did 2 passes, and I think it was fine. I'm going to go for broke and shave again tomorrow. Also working on better mapping my facial hair for a better shave (I'm like 70% there).
