-> single pass head and face shave. Alright, I won't even pretend this was some kind of luxury. It was a cartridge shave for the sake of saving time and not cutting myself with my shaky hands.
King of Bourbon was amazing though. As always. Somehow this slightly sweet and definitely bold scent manages to take my mind away from worrying. Also, WK Siero is so good to shave with.
As for the cartridge? Couldn't care less. It's one of those extra flexible cartridge razors, apparently for people with no wrist mobility or extreme tremors. It worked well, no questions. But I seriously don't care about cartridges anymore. Mostly due to the lubra-strip, this hellish invention of either a strip of lubricating chemicals or like this one, those lubricants housed in some silicone contraption. I like that you can flat out remove in on their 5-blade carts, since that stuff is simply useless with a good slick soap like WK. Sadly that isn't possible with the Hydro 3, which are better for my skin since less blades. Cartridges also suck for any kind of beard contouring, which oddly was what originally got me into traditional wetshaving tools around 2020. You simply can't achieve straight lines with them.
This was the last shave before my written exams start tomorrow. I am very well prepared, but still got some nerves. Well, at least I can look forward to some nice safety razor shaves once it's done. Let's rock this and get shit done! ๐
Good luck with your finals!
Thank you very much!
Good luck! You've got this!
Thanks! I'll do my best!
