  • Brush: TGS Galaxy 26 mm
  • Razor: RazoRock Cyber Medium w/ Superknurl handle
  • Blade: Willy's Premium
  • Lather: Declaration Grooming - Cuir et Epices
  • Post-Shave: Alverde - Men ASB
  • Passes & Info: 2 passes on the head, 1 on the neck. Good shave.

My only day off this week, so this shave was to put a good finish to this day.

I still remember back when DG was all the rage, nowadays it's seemingly less popular. Milksteak is still a good base though and this scent is very great. "Leather and Spices" if I'm not mistaken and it's exactly that: like an expensive leather bag full of delicious spices. Got this one a few years ago by the recommendation of sahenders, who said it might fit well with TF Oro Valley and it surely does. But also shines on its own - I really like it. The blade today is yet again made in India, but it's better than The Gentleman's and Parker Premium: really solid first shave, I'm indeed impressed.

Weekend shifts are usually pretty calm, so I don't really dread working tomorrow and Sunday. Plus it's just 6h shifts, so I should even be fine after work. Everyone else: have a nice weekend!
