Tried to go for the full RIP experience with this shave. I always love this day because it forces me to dig out stuff that I fear using because “what if I run out and can’t find anymore.” Shaken might be one of my favorite scents in the space and I’m unsure whether it’s the scent I actually like or the uniqueness of it. I did have a slight hiccup starting this shave with a new Wizamet that just didn’t want to cooperate and was just horribly scrapey and required me to go back to a blade with probably 10+ uses. I think that’s one of the hardest things in this hobby is forcing yourself to stop your shave for a bad blade and not just toughing it out.
