2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
Always make time for a luxury shave while traveling. It is well worth it!

Good shave. I switched up the razor and hit repeat on the scent. Loving the lime and menthol.
Which razor do you prefer between the CB and the Overlander?

- Fragrance: Barrister & Mann - Lavender, Interrupted - EdP
Switched from the Clog-Pruf to the MM24. Weird. I thought I remembered the Clog-Pruf being smoother, but the MM24 felt so much better. I really don't have enough experience with GEMs to know what the heck is going on, but today's shave wasn't so bad.
Do you have the regular Clog-Pruf (or in @merikus@sub.wetshaving.social's preferred spelling: "Kløg-Prüf") or the Peerless?

- Aftershave: Spearhead Shaving Company Seaforth! Spiced
- Fragrance: Spearhead Shaving Company Seaforth! Spiced
I planned my shaves before the Theme Thursday themes for December were posted, so I made up my own. Spiced is my quintessential Santa ("Samichlaus") scent because it smells just like the little jute sacks filled with mandarins and gingerbread we gift on St Nicholas day.
Very nice early morning shave with (Gingerbread-)Spiced and wonderful hardware.

1 pass shave for both the dome and the face again. Again, a little blood was shed due to bumpy skin - this time behind my right ear. Unfortunately I get bad skin breakouts again this time of the year...
LGC in Omnibus is awesome as always, but I begin to think that the BIC aren't my favourite blades anymore. They rarely work that comfortably in any of my newer razors, so I guess the search for a better blade needs to resume.
First selfie done today, second and third one tomorrow. I actually had tomorrow off, but one of my colleagues/friends got sick and the others would have been massively understaffed. So another early shift tomorrow - who cares, the execs will have to pay me my overtime and leftover vacation time anyways 🤷🏻♂️
pay me my overtime and leftover vacation time anyways 🤷🏻♂️
The best part of leaving a job 😊
