• Brush: Darn Tough Oatmeal Men’s Hiker Micro Crew Midweight Hiking Sock
• Razor: Razorock Game Changer .84
• Blade: Gillette Nacet (12)
• Lather: Proraso – Aloe and Vitamin E
• Post Shave: Thayers – Rose Petal

This is my first time using Proraso cream, and it's … fine. It isn't as good as the soap, but it's super easy to lather and gets a decent shave. The scent is inoffensive, but nothing to write home about. All in all, a great product for someone just getting into wetshaving, but I'm glad I only have a sample from Maggard and not a whole tube to use up.

I know yesterday I said the Atlas challenge was "disgusting", but somehow this challenge is perfectly acceptable to me. Whatever, I'll rub a sock in some shaving cream and then on my face, it's probably clean enough.

Creams Rule Everything Around Me to the tune of C.R.E.A.M. by Wu-Tang Clan

Lyrics:

Creams rule everything around me

C.R.E.A.M., get the lather

Wetshaving thrill, y'all

I grew up on the dry side, the Barbasol side

Stayin' smooth was no groove

Bought soap secondhand

Didn’t shave like an old man

So then we moved to r/Wetshaving

A young youth, yo, rockin' the sebum gold, Dec knoot

Only way I be gettin’ the G off was shave loot

And let's start it like this, son

Rollin' with this one and that one, pullin' out straights for fun

But it was just a dream for the teen

Who was a fiend, started wet shaving at 16

And runnin' up in places

and doin' shaves for smooth faces

Shavin' my face on fire escapes

No question, I would speed for brush and soap

The combination brought my face hope

No question, I would flow off and try to get the dough all

Readin’ the shave reports

Creams rule everything around me

C.R.E.A.M., get the lather

Wetshaving thrill, y'all

Creams rule everything around me

C.R.E.A.M., get the lather

Wetshaving thrill, y'all
