SOTD 24.01.2024

  • Prep: warm water
  • Razor: Greencult GC 2.0 II plate
  • Blade: Voskhod
  • Brush: RazoRock Beehive 28 mm
  • Lather: A&E - Ouddiction (K2e)
  • Post Shave: Thayer's Aloe Vera toner; Natura Siberica ASB gel

Despite being the late post, I actually shaved my head about an hour earlier today; just forgot to post here. Seems like my subconscious likes me sleep-deprived.

So today's shave could've been wonderful... Ouddiction is a great scent, K2e is nice and slick... But the blade. I forgot the MFing dulling blade in there. You get the idea. The shave was rough and I actually got caught up a bit on the back of my head and gave myself a tiny little cut there. This hasn't happened in ages and it's especially annoying that it yet again happens with the Greencult. All of my worst shaving accidents happened with that razor, so I kinda have a love-hate relationship with it. It's damn efficient but it seems like I have lots of bad luck with it, even though today it was definitely due to me forgetting to change blades.
