  • Prep: Hot Shower - Preshave
  • Brush: Zenith /r/Wetshaving MOAR Boar ๐Ÿ—
  • Razor: GEM Micromatic Flying Wing, gold
  • Blade: GEM - PTFE (3)
  • Lather: Summer Break Soaps - Prom King Soap
  • Post Shave: Proraso - Eucalyptus and Menthol AS
  • Post Shave: Zingari Man - AS Balm Unscented

I took my time with the Flying Wing this morning, paying attention to riding the cap closely. Hell, the razor head even has a bullseye etched into it to remind you to ride the cap. Following the razor's advice, I got a spectacular shave. SBS's base is super slick and takes little effort to get it there and this GEM enjoyed slicing through it. No feedback from the splash to boot.

One day closer to the end of the week, thankfully, but my work calendar looks friggin' ugly. Gonna need a bigger coffee cup, clearly. Have a great day all!

A damn nice shave on a Wednesday and always a plus when the wife gives the sniff test and a smile. Have a great day all!

First time using a SBS soap and it did not disappoint. Prom King is a great scent and one that I could probably use as a daily driver. MOAR BOAR did a fine job of getting the soap up to a great lather and I always appreciate when there's almost no feedback from a splash.

Time to get this Tuesday rolling and get more coffee into the system. Have a great day all!
