Hey Everyone,
I love the concept of a shaving journal. It will help me document my shaving journey. Especially I want to document my brushes and how they perform over time. My main three focuses on this will be razors, brushes, and soaps.
Razors - Try to document how they perform. Are they efficient and smooth? How do they feel in my hand and are they ascetically pleasing?
Brushes - What type of knot is it? How is the face feel (I face lather 100% of the time)? Is it soft, how is the backbone? Does it load fairly well and how well does it release soap? Is the handle comfortable in my hand? Is the brush ascetically pleasing?
Soaps - How strong is the smell off the puck? How easy is it to load? Is it slick and dense lather? How is the scent when lathering and what is the post-shave feel? What are the cost and availability?
These are all questions that are important to me in my shaving journey. I typically shave 5-7 days a week. That could change in the years going forward and that is an important aspect to document. I also shave my face and head so I like to call that double dipping lol. I'm lucky that I get to shave twice a day! I live full-time in my 32ft RV with my spouse and our two Great Danes. So shaving looks a little different and I shave in different spots from time to time.
Well, I think that is a good first entry and gives me a good outline for my journal entries.
