9th November 2020 AEST
Brush: Graydog Arizona Mesquite Maggard 28mm SHD fan
Razor: Smart Helix Apollo 0.50mm Mid plate
Blade: Astra Blue (4)
Soap: CELLA Organic
Pre: Shower
Post: Nivea 2 phase A/S Lotion & Sensitive Post Shave Balm
WTG, XTG, ATG = DFS
I'm starting to see why I stopped using Astra Blues as the only seem to perform best in milder razors and the 0.50mm plate is far from mild...
Wishing you a productive working week!!! Happy Shaves

Mon 9th SOTD Revived & Reused
Soap Ariana & Evans Kaizen
Brush Yaqi 24mm Ruby Tuxedo
Razor GEM Push Button
Blade GEM Stainless 7th
Post & Aftershave
Ice Water + Special Thayers Mix
Hyaluronic + Aqua Velva Musk
Able to revive and reuse leftover lather from yesterday and infact there's still some left after today's shave.
Shave with razor and blade was just ok. Smooth on flat surface but kinda tuggy around lips area. I actually strop the blade on paste & leather...seems a bit smoother compare to last use. Time to ditch. 3passes for a sas/dfs result. The goal is no weepers nor irritation.

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a great weekend.
Great shave this morning! The Spearhead Shaving soap is a great performer. Initially the lather was a little too wet but I was able to salvage it and had a wonderful two pass shave (with touch up). I think the RazoRock Game Changer has officially become my favorite razor.
Hope you have a great day!
