SOTD 05.10.2023

  • Prep: warm water
  • Razor: Stando Perun
  • Blade: Voskhod
  • Brush: RazoRock Beehive 28 mm
  • Lather: Wholly Kaw - King of Bourbon
  • Post Shave: Thayer's toner; Pacific Shaving Caffeinated ASB
  • Fragrance: Trussardi Riflesso Blue Vibe EDT

I'm getting in the unfortunate habit of posting way too late. Anyways, this was actually a single pass WTG head shave - yep, finally did it again. My eczema didn't take it so well, but whatever. I started to look older than Jason Statham and that man is in his mid-50s...

Today's scent combo was really going well, both King of Bourbon as well as Riflesso Blue Vibe have a slightly sweet, slightly boozy profile.

Stando's Perun is slowly becoming my favourite DE - it's very mild, but with a really sharp blade it could also shine. This Voskhod is more on the mild side, as I hoped this would yield less irritation. Unfortunately that wasn't the case. Better luck next time.
