Well, finally some time and energy for a luxurious wetshave again! In the last few days, I was sick with the rota virus. If you thought the puking scene from The Exorcist was something, you haven't been in my bathroom on that damned Monday night! But I digress;

One pass WTG head shave plus cleanups and a bit of beard contours. GF 2 is a great scent for the warmer season IMHO and it's great to come back with a quality SW soap. I only yesterday felt good enough to knock down the longer stubble on my head with a trimmer, but nothing beats wetshaving for the slick bald look.

These KAI blades are still no good for my skin. I should finally seek out the Protouch MG again, expensive as they are but the shaves were so much smoother.

No worries, it was unfortunately spreading like a wildfire at my new workplace and I came in contact with infected residents very often. No wonder that it got to me someday 😅 but thanks for the friendly words 👍🏻
