  • Preshave: Cold Water
  • Brush: Zenith 506U XS Horse 🐎
  • Razor: Edwin Jagger DE89
  • Blade: Astra Superior Platinum (10)
  • Lather: The Goodfellas Smile Amber FougΓ¨re
  • Post Shave: Old Spice After Shave

I gave my face a break yesterday, and this improved the dryness of my skin. Today I tried bowl-lathering, and it reduced the heat and irritation during the shave. Alas, my skin feels much drier after the shave, so I 'm not sure that I will commit to continuing.

I guess that next time, I should try my setup before engaging in a month-long endeavor.

Have a good day!

I like your approach, though
