2023.10.04 SOTD:
Prep: Neutrogena Hydro Boost Cleanser
Brush: AKA Brushworks Amethyst Watchman with 26mm AP Shave Co G5C
Razor: Chiseled Face Legacy AL
Blade: Gillette Nacet (3)
Lather: Seaforth! Sea Ice Lime
Post Shave: Alum, Stirling Mentholated Unscented Witch Hazel and Aloe, Seaforth! Sea Ice Lime Aftershave Splash, Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel-Cream Extra-Dry
Did 2 passes on my face and 3 + cleanup on my neck. Didn't do a straight ATG pass (just went south to north) and it turned out good. Not quite as smooth, but very close with less fuss. Still not completely sold on Nacet blades, though, which is a shame.
Due to the Spearhead sale, I will not be using another soap until I kill this tub so that my purchase of another SIL tub can be justified.
