  • Prep: warm water
  • Razor: GEM Micromatic Flying Wing/ Bullet Tip, gold
  • Blade: GEM PTFE
  • Brush: AP Shave Co. Faux Horn Beehive w/ 28 mm Faux Boar
  • Lather: Declaration Grooming - Unscented soap
  • Post Shave: Thayer's Aloe Vera toner; Stirling Soap Glacial Spearmint ASB

Still dealing with the cold, still using unscented soap. This time with a GEM razor though, which was nice for a bit of variety. It might not be my favourite GEM, but it surely looks the best.

2-pass face shave with absolutely no weepers. I'm really proud of myself. However, due to the current goatee I avoid the tricky chin area.
