  • Prep: warm water
  • Razor: RazoRock Hawk V2
  • Blade: KAI Captain Pink
  • Brush: TGS Galaxy 26 mm
  • Lather: Declaration Grooming - Unscented soap
  • Post Shave: Thayer's Aloe Vera toner; Lavera Mikrosilber Creme

Meh head shave. One pass and done, it got way too late anyway.

First I thought that the Hawk with this blade doesn't really work that bad for shaving my head, but after applying the toner I saw a couple red spots of irritation. Thankfully the Lavera cream with micronized silver particles was there to calm the skin down.

First two early shifts at the new nursing home are behind me; so far it's really a different style of working: less rushed, more individual. I still miss my old co-workers, but I actually look forward to what my future assignments there will bring.
