  • Brush: AP Shave Co. black & clear handle w/ 30 mm Tuxedo Fan knot
  • Razor: Leaf Thorn
  • Blade: Perma-Sharp half DE
  • Lather: Summer Break Soaps - Rope Swing
  • Post-Shave: HAGS - Apocalypse ASB

-> 2-pass head shave. A very solid shave except for a nick behind my left ear yet again (I suppose it's some skin blemishes from my glasses that make this occur)

Really hot day, so I longed for something to cool down - enter Rope Swing, which even has "cooling shave soap" printed on the tub. The synthetic cooling agent pairs surprisingly well with the green scent. Unfortunately I don't have anything matching for post-shave products, finding alcohol-free toners or balms with menthol or WS-23 seems to be a rare occurrence.

First day where I am back to work for my practical exam week. Thursday and Friday are my days. I'm a tad bit nervous, but everything is manageable. Let's get this over with!
