  • Prep: Hot Shower - Preshave
  • Brush: Zenith /r/Wetshaving MOAR Boar 🐗
  • Razor: GEM Micromatic Flying Wing, gold
  • Blade: GEM - PTFE (4)
  • Lather: Stirling Soap Co. - Lime Soap
  • Post Shave: Cella Milano - Bio Organic AS Lotion with Aloe Vera
  • Post Shave: Zingari Man - AS Balm Unscented

I didn't intend to use the Stirling Lime today, but this morning my wife asked me if I could whip up a lather for her to shave her legs. How could I say no to that request? She doesn't love most heavily scented soaps so Lime it was, which is always acceptable to me as well. Of note, she doesn't have any blades for her shitty Venus razor, so it will be another attempt to convert her to a Schick injector. The DEs scare her.

Finally Friday and coffee is hot. Have a great day all!

I got a Lady Gillette for my SO and it made a huge difference in her perceived accessibility to wetshaving… She still only DE shaves when she has a lot of time, but she enjoys it when she does.

I had my wife use my Eversharp I1 and she liked it. Now if I can only keep her using it, I'll be happy man.
