These cartridges usually last more than 10 shaves, but this one may be at the end.

It really enjoy the TTFFC soap base, and this scent is very natural and pleasant. Good stuff.

Austere August is moving fast. I'm loving the Stag. The base is really nice. My mind is wandering towards Sample September though. :)

Have a good day.

2 passes on the head, 1 on the neck. Very comfortable shave with no bleeding at all!

I actually wanted to do this shave since Saturday, but alas, there's always something holding me up. Mostly it's my work, it's currently rather exhausting again.

However, I did this shave when it actually still was Thursday before my home training session. I could leave a bit earlier today and wanted to make the most of it, so a great shave before a nice workout seemed like perfect late evening plans...

And somehow, this shave was strikingly good. I took my time, washed my head and face beforehand and made short, deliberate strokes with the razor. Truly a great feeling when you don't need to rush your shave! FMoM smells great, like an old cigar shop - and it's in Omnibus base, so great for my skin.

I'm done with trying to make the goatee work though. I've really tried in the last few days, but even the trimmer and electric shaver irritate my face badly. I guess it's just really short, well-groomed stubble until the end for me. Well, at least I can shave around that! The neck part of the shave was really good too and it feels really satisfying to have this smooth, soft feeling on my neck again. I'll do the cheek line in due time, currently the stubble is knocked down to 1 mm and barely noticeable to anyone but myself.
