  • Preshave: Proraso Green Preshave
  • Brush: Zenith 506U XS Horse ๐ŸŽ
  • Razor: Greencult GC 2.0 II
  • Blade: Astra Superior Platinum (20)
  • Lather: Abbate y La Mantia Marduk
  • Post Shave: Mennen Le Grand Large
  • Post Shave: Nivea After Shave Balm

The blade starts becoming tuggy - I hope it will smooth out soon. I was more generous with the soap today, but I still need MOAR. I should shave earlier: I felt tired, and gave myself 2 weepers on the first pass. At least this setup is refreshing.

Otherwise: back at work, and a day of errands.

Have a good night!
