Pre-workout shave yet again - 1 pass on head and neck, comfortable shave.
This was a nice shave. I have a dentist appointment tomorrow, first in almost two years. I have terrible anxiety - to the point that I even got an anxiety attack after my workout, sigh...
Due to this, I feel extremely defeated and exhausted. Can't write much more right now.
Better than expected, as usual with my unrealistic phobias. Got a full dental checkup, an x-ray and they removed some dental calculus. Got two follow-up appointments for September, since two of my old fillings need to be replaced since they've shifted over time - the one that gives me trouble probably has some caries around it too, but thankfully none of my teeth need to be pulled.

Better than yesterday, but still not great. Tomorrow, since I'm a glutton for punishment, maybe I'll try the Body Shoppe cream to see if it gives me another bad shave.
A nod to all those stagging through August. This base is kind of shite IMO, and I don't see any future for it in my den. I think I will try to kill it – unless someone who is from a country that still allows mail from France wants a sample (after this glowing recommendation, who could resist)?

1st pass WTG, 2nd pass XTG. Comfortably close shave, maybe a bit less close on my chin than a Bolzano or Feather. Decision time is approaching for buying more blades... Leaning bolzano

And, how did it go?

That's the spirit. We want to exclude user error.
Choosing the wrong soap is also user error!
