Kismet Blade - Losing My Edge
#Monthofweckoning


I went for a luxury shave today. Took a full 20 minutes. Two, thick, super-hydrated lathers, extra time enjoying the brush while lathering, and a slow, light, very low angle razor while shaving. Love the result. Really enjoyed the experience.

Again, no SOTD photo today, and no edge photo either. Two lazy to do the former, and no need for the latter. The edge remains in status quo condition.

Enjoy your Sunday!
