  • Prep: Shower
  • Brush: AKA Brushworx w/ AP Shave Co 26 mm Synbad Bulb
  • Razor: Gillette flat bottom tech
  • Blade: Gillette Silver Blue
  • Lather: Dr. Jon's - Black River
  • Post Shave: Neutrogena Hydro-Boost Gel Cream
  • Fragrance: Dr. Jon's - Black River
  • Whiskers: Jojoba/Argan w/Tea Tree Oil

The Gillette Tech is very efficient compared to how mild it feels in the skin. I like that for a nice slow methodical shave so I tend to use it a fair amount in the weekends. The GEMs are my weekday warriors and all purpose favorites.

@pi_dash_rho@wetshav.ing used Gunpowder Spice yesterday which inspired me to use my Black River soap and frag today, which also has a gunpowder note but with a rose, floral base. It's very unique. I have some popular mainstream frags too which some of which I enjoy very much, and some mainstream dupes, but I like that when I wear a nice, original scent from a wetshaving artisan I know no one else I come across is likely going to be wearing the same thing. I like to hope I'll make a unique impression.
