Saturday, November 16, 2024: SLS - First GC Shave

  • Brush: Yaqi - Sagrada Familia 24mm Synthetic
  • Razor: RazoRock - Game Changer .68
  • Blade: Astra Superior Platinum (1)
  • Lather: Stirling - Arkadia
  • Post: Stirling - Arkadia Aftershave splash
  • Post: Stirling - Glacial Unscented Aftershave balm
  • Frag: Stirling - Arkadia EdT

My first shave with the GC .68 this evening didn't disappoint. I suspect this razor will replace my Rockwell 6C. It felt a lot nicer to shave with.

The Yaqi synthetic felt much nicer on my face than the last time I shaved with a synthetic. I think I just need to be more mindful of how much pressure I apply when using a synthetic brush.

Arkadia++++; Always a lovely scent.
