SOTD 25.03.2024
Finally time to post a proper SOTD again! After my uncomfortable hiatus, I actually had a crammed weekend and today off work but still packed with preparations. I feel way better since returning from Bad Liebenstein...
2 pass head shave, first with the Gamechanger WTG and a second fast one with the cartridge razor ATG. These Hydro 3 treat me well since I found out that I can simply remove the gel strips with my thumbnail - pluck, and they're gone for good! I much prefer my soap to be the sole provider of slickness, K THX.
Neon Sun was awesome after almost no soap usage (excluding Moon's Union) for six weeks. Great scent, good feeling on the skin and a nice bald head without irritation as the final result. Now I really need to sleep since I have lots of early shifts in the next few days, but it's good to be back here. ๐๐ป
VERY interesting idea for the goo-strips. I have to try that.
It works on these Wilkinson Hydro cartridges, since they use a gel pool that is fixed by some rubber/silicone like material... Normally, I'd use nail scissors to scrape the lubrication strips out, but no need here ๐
