  • Prep: warm water
  • Razor: Greencult GC 2.0 IV plate
  • Blade: Voskhod
  • Brush: TGS Galaxy 26 mm
  • Lather: Declaration Grooming - Unscented
  • Post Shave: Thayer's Aloe Vera toner; Pacific Shaving Co. Caffeinated ASB

2-pass face shave. Not that this was a bad shave but... Well, this is super dull. Unscented soap is basically shaving just for shavings sake; it turns traditional wetshaving back into a chore.

It helps me to wetshave my head a few times; but for my face I should use everything else! Really, if you take away the aromatherapy aspect of wetshaving, it becomes rather pointless to me personally. It also reminds me of the time where I was suffering from a Covid nose and actually couldn't smell or taste anything. Everything seemed boring and bland... Not the nicest memory on a Sunday night.

Stay safe everyone, hope you'll have a nice start into the new week!
