Not much stubble to shave this morning thanks to yesterday's close shave. So not more than one pass atg and bit of touchups was necessary today.

Looking forward to reaching the weekend 😅

Cheers!

A new one today. One women show that does shampoo bars and all the fruity stuff etc.
Also 2 shaving soaps of which one scent „Wild Mustang“ was gifted to me a while ago. The kicker, the soap base is pig fat/lard so obviously I had to use a Boar today 🐷🐗:lol:

Despite the name the scent is a mild and warm one and quite inoffensive. It lathered well but I missed a bit of cushion yet I guess it can be dialed in pretty easily.

Tried the Game Changer 1.05 plate again, with a well-used blade. I wouldn't call it aggressive at all, despite the big gap.

I paid attention, and got a comfortable near-BBS. It handles just like the .84 version, with a bit more efficiency.
