  • Brush: Zenith 508 Moar Boar
  • Razor: Weck Sextoblade

  • Lather: Stirling Soap Co. - Sheep
  • Post Shave: Lucky Tiger
  • Post Shave: Stirling Soap Co. - unscented balm

This bottle of Lucky Tiger likely won't make it to the end of the month. But I always have a backup bottle on standby.

I started taking cold showers a couple of weeks ago. It's not an uncommon practice I've come to realize and after listening to a podcast that talked a bit about the benefits of cold plunges and cold showers I thought I would give it a try. I have to say that I really hate it every time in the initial moments, like...really really hate it. But after a minute or two I get a little accustomed to it. The hype about the after effects is real. I never thought my mood would benefit from a cold shower. Maybe I'm fooling myself. Maybe I'm just so fucking glad to be out of that frigid experience. I'm not sure either way, but I'm going to stick with it for now.
