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. 👌🏻
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 😉
Lather: Barrister & Mann - Fougère Classique - Soap
Post Shave: Noble Otter - The Night Before - Aftershave
Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Mood Indigo - Balm
Fragrance: Noble Otter - Hamami - EdP
I'd love to see a Noble Otter upset today, but I had to go with my heart.
Will has been keeping wetshaving wet since the introduction of Excelsior (maybe even before that, but I don't know), and I'm a big fan of that. Omnibus can take so much water it makes me question the physical world that we live in.
Another fine week, another great shave.

BaM! Otter Madness 🦦
My gut tells me we can have an underdog victory today and I'm doing my part.

Me too, but I expect BaM to be unrelenting.

VERY interesting idea for the goo-strips. I have to try that.

Another round with the Otter—this time using the mysterious Hamami. It made for an excellent Monday morning shave.
Rating: 4.5/5
Hamami++

This was rather rough – the blade probably needs some refreshing.
Have a good night!
