10-08 - Sunday shavin'

  • Brush: Yaqi 'Heavy Metal' 24mm silvertip badger
  • Razor: Marianna #310 
  • Blade: Fromm Shaper
  • Lather: House of Mammoth - Hygge - Soap
  • Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Hygge - Aftershave Balm

Another decent shave. Getting more and more used to the angles but I still struggle on the neck. Narrowing it down to just the Adam's apple area, which just has too much going on to allow the blade to glide smoothly in any direction. Will need more workshopping. Putting on the alum afterwards still feels like I'm taking poison damage in an RPG, but I've resigned myself to that by now. Keeps me awake and on my toes, I guess. At least there was no blood today.

After I was done and washing up, a minor earthquake (read: my fat ass taking a heavy step) caused my razor to tumble into the wash basin. Luckily I'd already taken out the blade, but the razor body's damn plastic tail broke off again. Super glue didn't hold it together too well, and I don't want to get the shit all over my hands again so soon after the last debacle, so I'm holding off on fixing it for now. Might see if I can do tomorrow's shave tail-less and see how badly that impacts my ability to not slice myself open.

Blood counter: 4
