Blade: Schick Proline
Lather: Storybook Soapworks x Australian Private Reserve - Fresca Intensa

Day 3 of APRil had me searching for a fresh scent. Fresca Intensa is like 9 different types of citrus so I figured SSL was a nice pairing.

Sounds like a nice citrus scent.

Same software as yesterday, because this edition on Beaudelaire is definitely on theme. I didn't have time for a SOTD pic, so here's an old one.

Brush: Rad Dinosaur Creations "Nebulagance" - TurnNShave Quartermoon 26mm synthetic
Razor: Gillette - Slim Adjustable (L4, 1966)
Blade: Personna - Lab Blue (5)
Lather: Zingari Man - The Master
Post Shave: Zingari Man - The Master Recovery Splash
Fragrance: Chiseled Face - Ghost Town Barber EdP

I did the step-down thing with my adjustable this morning. It worked pretty well, though I'm not sure it worked better than just setting it to a middle-ish setting for all 3 passes.

Almost to Friday, have a great day y'all.

Lather: Stirling Soap Co. - Varen - Soap
Post Shave: Summer Break Soaps - Woodshop - Aftershave

My initial impression of this razor is still very good. Excellent, close, and comfortable. I have to wear a shirt and tie for work today, so we'll see how my neck likes it.
