  • Brush: TGS Galaxy 26 mm
  • Razor: Leaf Thorn
  • Blade: Derby Premium (half DE)
  • Lather: Wholly Kaw - Transition
  • Post-Shave: Lavera - Men sensitive ASB
  • Passes & Info: single pass only on the head again. A little bit of burn once I applied the ASB lotion, otherwise a good shave.

A quick shave after I trimmed my stubble beard down. The really short lengths look best with a skin-close shave up top in contrast IMHO. WK Siero is always nice to use and Transition has such a smooth, mellow and warm scent. I can't pick out anything individually, but it's seriously very good and relaxing to use.

The 3rd RN shift was a huge improvement over yesterday's miserable day. It seems like my colleagues are indeed happy to have me around, just don't have enough time to explain everything thoroughly. Tomorrow I will have another early shift, but this time with a team member who's universally hated at this station. We'll see how it goes, I try to stay as neutral as possible.
