  • Brush: Omega Roma Colossea 31 mm
  • Razor: RazoRock Cyber Medium w/ Superknurl handle
  • Blade: BIC Chrome Platinum
  • Lather: Noble Otter - Ace
  • Post Shave: Zingari Man - The Master; Lavera Mikrosilber Akut cream
  • Alum: Osma alum block

2 passes on the head, 1 on the neck. Rough shave, a couple of weepers on my head.

Another late shave since I have a job interview at 10 tomorrow. Unfortunately not my best shave with this setup - used a fresh BIC Chrome Platinum and they're constantly biting me when they're new. The shave itself didn't feel uncomfortable, but I knew I was in for a hard time when I saw blood in the lather. Thankfully I still had my alum block around and the ZM recovery splash took care of the rest together with the Lavera cream.

Maybe my shaky hands contributed to this mediocre shave too, I am really nervous about tomorrow. It's a very fancy hospital in the Thuringian forest with a high reputation. They were rather fast to get back to me and I am quite interested about what they offer for my future career. No final decisions tomorrow, but I am indeed on edge because if they'd want me, it's a very good sign.

Have a nice day/evening/night โœŒ๐Ÿป
