20. September 2026

Brush: AP Shave Co. 30 mm Tuxedo Fan knot w/ Black & Clear handle
Razor: Leaf Thorn
Razor: Razorock Hawk V2, Superknurl handle
Blade: Derby Premium
Blade: KAI Protouch MG
Lather: Wickham Soap Co. - Magnum
Post Shave: Bali Gents - Skin Revival Spray
Post Shave: Zingari Man - The Master

2 passes on both head and on the face (except circle beard area). Leaf on the dome, Hawk on the face. A bit of minor bleeding on the face, but overall a nice shave.

For the last day off, I decided on a little wellness ritual for myself. Of course a good shave should be part of that too - so this came to fruition.

Wickhams Magnum has such a comfortable scent, it reminds me of some fancy bath salts. Perfect for a wellness shave. Despite this being a veg shaving soap (IIRC?) it had great cushion in the lather. The second pass on my face is where some tiny weepers appeared, I can only speculate why; most likely it's due to me trying to get the edges of the circle beard too perfect and using too much pressure due to that. Thanks to ZMs Rescue Potion, the bleeding stopped.

Tomorrow it's back to work. Originally I was scheduled for the late shift, but got a call on Friday - now I need to do early shift because we lack staff there. Unfortunate for me, but I'm willing to help wherever I can. Hope everyone here has a wonderful Sunday!
