Last night’s cap-riding shave of awesomeness

Pre-shave: warm shower :001_wub:
Lather: ARKO!; face-lathered
Aftershave: Ulm Nom
Post-shave: face wash with shave binky and a drop of hyaluronic acid
Post-shave: Equate moisturizer

Another after midnight shave. Slick, smooth, and comfortable. A little more stubble left behind, so I changed the blade and hope I minimize edge damage to the next one.

Since officially joining the Crapheads Club hosted by @Jay21 , my shaves have been gentler on my skin and my simple, primate mob mentality has kept me from tilting my razor so its comb could appreciably be felt. It’s not for everyone, but if shaving at a razor’s design angle or steeper leaves a reader with a scraped-face feeling, that reader might consider becoming a CRAP-head during the next shave.
