SOTD - 2026-03-11

  • Prep: Shower
  • Brush: West Coast Shaving Synthetic
  • Razor: RazoRock Game Changer .84 closed comb
  • Blade: Durablade SharP 7am platinum (2)
  • Lather: Ariana & Evans Lavender Noir (Ultima) Shave Soap
  • Alum: Stirling Travel Size Alum
  • Toner: Stirling Unscented Witch Hazel & Aloe
  • Serum: Ash Hopper Blueberry Serum
  • Lotion: Humble Bee Botanicals Calendulove Face Cream
  • Fragrance: Humble Bee Botanicals "Tap Root" Enchanted Woodland Scent

1x WTG, touch ups XTG on moustache area (bad idea, 1 weeper) and WTG elsewhere (better idea). Not bad; a socially acceptable shave.

Gotta say the fragrance is a massive letdown. It's a roll on oil with essential oils in it, and it smells interesting for about a minute and then just like vetiver for a few hours. Oh well.
