15-08 - An unwelcome chill

  • Brush: Yaqi 'Purple Haze' w/ 24mm Mew Brown knot
  • Razor: 1953-54 Gillette 'Aristocrat Junior'
  • Blade: Gillette Nacet (15)
  • Lather: House of Mammoth - Mood Indigo - Soap
  • Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Mood Indigo - Balm
  • Fragrance: Proraso - Wood and Spice - Cologne

It's very cold right now, and I really didn't want to move away from the heater. But here goes nothing. Shave was great (as usual), but it would have really helped if I could have stopped shivering at any point. I didn't slice myself open or anything, but this one required a lot more willpower and concentration than a Mindigo shave should, especially given I'm over two weeks into this challenge.

I don't rate my shaves as I can't be arsed to come up with a decent evaluation system, but I'll give this one a Cold/10. My whiskers are gone and my face is smooth and shiny from the balm. Normally that'd be a good thing, but now the cold is nipping at my delicate cheeks from both ends. Now to get back in front of my nice, warm heater.
