July 14th, 2025: Flying Wing

  • Brush: Ever-Ready - 400 w/Motherload 30mm Synthetic
  • Razor: Micromatic Flying Wing
  • Blade: Personna GEM PTFE (2)
  • Lather: London Razors, Summer Break Soaps - Mountain Laurel - Soap
  • Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Santa Noir - Aftershave
  • Post Shave: Dove - Men+Care Ultra-Hydra - Cream

Much better than yesterday, probably on account of the lather.

We plan on shocking our well with bleach today because it failed a water test. "Not potable" they say... sheesh! I'm not sure if I'll get to shave tomorrow, unless I go to the Rec Center and use their facilities.

That brings up a question... Yesterday was my 5 year wetshaving anniversary, and I think I've shaved every single day since then. Part of me thinks I skipped a day within the past year, but I can't remember. So if I skip tomorrow, that'll either be the first or second time skipping a shave in the past 5 years.
