    Good to be back after a long absence. After a not so long day of work and bathing the baby, I'm now ready to begin a new journey. Fresh new DE blade. I know there's not a lot of austerity in using dual razors.. but I love the Henson for the neck and the Feather for lining the cheeks. This particular combo has become my go to. As I twist the lid off from the tub, I'm greeted with this majestic hydrocarbon scent. After 3 passes, I move on to the splash, and then the EdP. I love that every one of them have their own special twist and focus on different notes, while keeping the same idea.

    Here's the spray proof, also, shave proof in case you think I didn't shave. Having a full beard also means some ritual: oil, brush, triming, lining. So I enjoy the best of both worlds. Maybe I'll sacrifice my beard to the Stag because of the rising numbers of covid in the hospital.

    Two pass, as I usually do while shaving every day. I think I'm getting a hang of the synth brush.

    Always double tap

    It's been a long time since I rock and rolled... I mean since I did the stroll.. I mean, since I shaved every single day. Lately I've been more of a 3x-4x/wk shave kind of guy, and the most recent time I've been extending to 2x or even once a week (I know I'm a lazy bastard). Anyhow, it's been difficult but I've endured in my quest.

    Better feel of the blade today, might keep it going.

    Here's the spray

    We finally did it. It's been an interesting month. Though I had an only boar phase with the sub brush, just recently returned to badger. I seldom use tye synths now, as I feel the lathering is a bit trickier; but truth be told, it wasn't that hard. I think my skill with the synbad has improved during the month, so that I might even give my other synths a go again.

    For me the hardest part of AA is not using the same gear every day, but actually shaving every single day. While during the lockdown it was a way of spending time with mysel, in real life and with a toddler, it is a bit more complicated. Whenever I'm tired I skip the shaving or things like that. As for the using limited amoint of gear.. that's usually me.. I grab a shavette and a safety razor, and off they go for 30-40 shaves without change. The scent is something I change a bit more often, but still I get 5-6 shaves in a row with the same.

    Final spray
