2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


Very nice shave with my newly acquired Atlantis Blue soap, splash, and EdP. This was purchased as part of a pre-order, but I did not think there was much risk. The scent is a fresh aquatic and perfect (IMO) for a hot summer day. This soap has a new soap base called Cashmere. I found it quite nice, especially for straight razor shaving.

  • Brush: AP Shave Co. black & clear handle w/ 30 mm Tuxedo Fan knot
  • Razor: Wilkinson Sword Hydro
  • Blade: Hydro 3 cartridge
  • Lather: Abbate Y La Mantia - Blu Tobacco
  • Post-Shave: OAM sensitive skin toner

-> 2-pass head shave with a cartridge. Boring, but smooth - due to nerves and tons of things on my mind, I just needed an autopilot razor today.

Blu Tobacco gives a great menthol tobacco scent and a gentle cooling sensation while not sacrificing any lather quality. I really enjoy this soap and I hope it helps me to keep cool for tomorrow!

First day of the practical exam done. Writing my care plan in just two hours was a very limiting time constraint, I just hope I didn't forget too much. Tomorrow it's four hours of putting everything into practice... I need to remember a lot of things, difficult for my ADHD. But still, I want this and it needs to be done one final time!
