Back from vacation, we all had a good time and no flight fuckery so that was nice. Good to be reunited with the whole den and what better way to celebrate that than with a full Sonder shave.

Really great shave. My tub of Varen has a good hole in the bottom.

2 passes. Face lather. Good shave.
A very nice shave today. Not as close as I would have expected, but a wonderful scent from soap and splash.

I decided to join the 21st century, and bought a new razor from Razorock. The Yin & Yang model comes with two heads, the more aggressive Mentor, and the more mild Mission. I used the Mentor head and with a lot of lather and a light touch, it did a great job of cutting through two day’s growth. Have a great day, everybody!

A nice and comfortable shave. Marduk us slightly mentholated, and exactly as strong as needed.
Have a good night!
