After yesterday's tub kill I'm in my warm fuzzy zone of sub-30 tubs. Even when I buy the upcoming Fanzine Saponifications release I'll be right at 30 tubs which is fine by me.

I’m stoked for Stallions releases! Probably should thin my den out to make some room..

As predicted, there were horses around our yurt when I shaved. Both in dead and very life-affirming form. It was fun to shave in nature.

The Kyrgyz mountains are a breathtaking experience I really wasn't prepared for. Unfortunately, I threw out my back (again), so it looks like travelling will be my personal hell for the next few days 😭

Brush: AP Shave Co. black & clear handle w/ 30 mm Tuxedo Fan knot
Razor: RazoRock Cyber Medium w/ Superknurl handle
Blade: BIC Chrome Platinum
Lather: Los Jabones de Joserra - Masala Connection
Post-Shave: Lavera Men sensitive ASB
Passes & Info: 1 pass on the dome, 2 on the face - felt smooth, but strong burn when applying the post-shave. 1 weeper on the neck.

Rainy day, so it was time for some cold weather scents. Masala Connection smells a bit more mature than I actually am, but I really enjoy those scent notes combined.

It seems like my skin needs a break from shaving tomorrow. While I used my mildest razor and the actual shave felt good, my skin burned when I applied the ASB lotion - and it's alcohol-free. ~~At least I had a nice 3 day streak.~~ scratch that, I realised it was actually a 4-day streak!
