01.01.2025 - A new year begins

  • Brush: AP Shave Co. black & clear handle w/ 30 mm Tuxedo Fan knot
  • Razor: RazoRock Cyber Medium
  • Blade: BIC Chrome Platinum
  • Lather: Wickham Soaps - Magnum
  • Post-Shave: OAM witch hazel cucumber toner; Alterra men natural ASB

-> 1 pass on the head and neck; a bit rough shave, one weeper on the scalp and a general harsh feeling from the new blade.

Happy New Year! I hope everyone arrived safely in 2025.

Since I am affected by a bit of a cold, I just went for a quick shave with comfortable scents. However, the BIC blades aren't as sharp as I remember - a noticeable downgrade in comparison to a fresh RPL. The Wickham soap however was really nice: a timeless cologne fragrance in tribute to Thomas Magnum/Tom Selleck with a rather good amount of cushion from the lather.

Let's see what this year will bring us. Tomorrow and Friday it's early shifts for me. Nursing school can't come fast enough...
