You know what's fun? No not that.... What's really fun is you being almost done with your LG post, and your PC just dies.... Yup, fun times indeed. But even that cannot stop me!
Daily Shave:
For today's shave I chose this full trifecta of Sutton Distilled. As suggested by the name it is inspired by a distillery and it is a whiskey forward scent. I rarely try soaps that make me buy a full trifecta, but this was one of them! And the EdP is the creme de la creme. Really it's super good! I'm currently debating if I should leave the soap and splash in my den, but the EdP will never leave it, FOR SURE!
I see people here going nuts about Coffee, maaaan get the hell out of here and be original, coffee is overrated, nothing better than a good spirit. You ever heard of 20 year old coffee? No? You know why? Cause whiskey is better, whiskey is mature, it is for the sophisticated, you don't need a grinder, you don't need a roast, just a glass and good company!
I want to talk about a technique that is not widely spread, but I tell you it's damn good and effective! You guys know that when using an adjustable razor, people usually dial down the numbers when continuing to the next pass. Yes? Well I'm here to preach about the DIAL UP method. Let's say you do WTG on 3, then XTG on 5 and ATG on 7. You might say "But MrTangerinesky, the Progress doesn't go to 7!". Yes it doesn't, it goes to 13, that razor can be turned twice over and some, and the head is super stable and the tolerances are super tight!
The idea behind this is that you use mild settings to get the better part of the stubble or beard off and then when the passes that count for depth come you increase the gap so that you can get a very good BBS while your skin hasn't been stressed by large gaps in the previous passes!
