SOTD 01.10.2023

  • Prep: cold water
  • Razor: RazoRock Hawk V2
  • Blade: Feather ProGuard

  • Lather: Chiseled Face Groomatorium - Ghost Town Barber
  • Post Shave: Thayers toner; Pacific Shaving Co. Caffeinated ASB
  • Fragrance: Rochas - Moustache EDP

So, I finally made it to the Lemmy instance. I kinda wonder why I haven't managed to do so sooner, as it's much easier to me than Mastodon with its strict 500 character limit. With that out of the way: Hi everyone, this is Dave aka DaveWave94. You might still know me from Reddit under the silly moniker of u/Teufelskraft.

Today's shave was a quick 1-pass face shave before my late shift at the nursing home. I like the smell of CF GTB a lot and the soap base is, together with Stirling, Noble Otter and Moon's Union a really fast to dial in good lather. Unfortunately, I really should change the Feather PG into something from KAI again. My face and Feather blades simply won't get along. Quite a few weepers today. Well, tomorrow's shave will surely be better!

Weepers with one pass? Was it against the grain?

Welcome to Lemmy. Let us know if you have any questions.

[โ€“] DaveWave94 3 points 1 year ago

No, just XTG. The skin on my face is very picky with blades - it seems like the guard on these Feathers doesn't even exist for me. I also have the unfortunate habit of using too much pressure with light aluminum razors, especially when I'm in a hurry ๐Ÿค”

Thank you very much! This sub/instance already feels very familiar to what I'm used to.
