06.12.2024 - Friday Shaman

  • Brush: AP Shave Co. black & clear handle w/ 30 mm Tuxedo Fan knot
  • Razor: Greencult GC 2.0 (II-plate)
  • Blade: Rapira Platinum Lux
  • Lather: E&S Rasage - Shaman
  • Post-Shave: OAM witch hazel & cucumber toner, benecos 2in1 aftershave & face balm

1 pass + buffing, head shave. Very comfortable.

Somehow E&S have improved their soap base a bit, this soap gives me way better post shave feel than the older samples I have of them do. Shaman is really interesting, a deep and rich mix of leather, woody notes and tobacco. Smells much more approachable than it sounds.

The GC 2.0 and me are now totally on friendly terms - it consistently gives me a great shave, no fuss. Really glad to have it.

Two late shifts done, another two left on this weekend. Well, at least I have Monday off! Have a nice weekend, folks.
