Morning All, Happy Merica Day
So these morning shaves are killing me but its the lesser of two evils as I know from the last few years that the wife will kill me if I spend too long in the evening larking about.
A quick science shave first thing and I thought it would be a good time to roll out the GUTL created by u/merikus
I Have photographed for documentation here
- 6:15am: The GUTL Experiment Begins
- 6:16am: 2 Grams of Soap added to the bowl
- 6:17am: The damp brush which had taken on 6.6 grams of water due to soaking was then swirled in a clockwise rotation until the protolather was formed.
- 6:19am: I moved the brush to my head and continued to created the protolather in an anti-clockwise rotation 17 times
- 6:21am: Moving back to the bowl I added 4ml of room temp water and began a 20 second clockwise rotation, added 3ml more water which was followed by a 15 second anti-clockwise rotation.
- 6:22am: Moving the brush again back to my head a added 4ml of water to the knot and refined the lather getting ready for the first pass before the next crucial step.
- 6:23am: A 25 second clockwise rotation on the brush in the bowl and the lather was ready along with the reserve lather ready for the 2nd pass.
- 6:24am: The Grand Unified Lather stage was completed.
The science part out the way I revved up the Stahly (well turned the handle) and off she went buzzing away like a Love Honey (Google it if not sure) parcel, I'm not sure the vibrating head brings much to the shave but it added a little variety to the shave and as they say that is the Spice Of Life.
This base from M&E isn't too shabby but I find can be a tad airy, the scent however is beautiful with notes of sweet freshly cut grass filling the bathroom and this is echoed by the 0.6ml of splash I used in my post shave.
I finished up with Grass by Lush which for obvious reasons compliments this perfectly.
Grass starts as the name suggests with a freshly cut grass note which slowly fades down to a musky almost Smokey hay scent, not a scent I wear daily but nice to spritz on a lazy Sunday sometimes.
