  • Prep: hot shower
  • Brush: Yaqi Cashmere Synthetic Shaving Brush, Dandelion Green Handle, 24mm
  • Razor: Edwin Jagger DE 89L
  • Blade: Lord Super Chrome (2)
  • Lather: Chiseled Face - Midnight Stag - Shaving Soap
  • Post Shave: Chiseled Face - Midnight Stag - Aftershave Balm

After what was promising to be a pretty decent shave, I somehow managed to cut the shit out of my lower lip. That was a first. And the amount of blood was impressive. I'm really struggling with what I believe is considered to be a pretty basic razor. At least I got to use Stag today, that always helps.
