Monday, August 26, 2024: Les lundis de l'entropie

  • Preshave: Proraso Green Preshave
  • Brush: Zenith 506U XS Horse ๐ŸŽ
  • Razor: GEM MMOC
  • Blade: Personna GEM PTFE (10)
  • Lather: Wholly Kaw Entropy Man
  • Postshave: Naissance 702 Witch Hazel
  • Postshave: Floid The Genuine
  • Postshave: Nivea After Shave Balm

My bottle of Floid (which I bought maybe 5 years ago?) has become a bit opaque, and I wonder if anything is wrong with it. I thought that it is mainly alcohol, so would could go wrong? Anyways, I have a slight tingling on my face that I should not have, so I'll probably get rid of it.

Have a good night!

Maybe the alcohol evaporated? It can happen if the cap isn't sealing properly anymore

I had bought the vaporizer to maximize economies ๐Ÿ‘€ and because it's cool ๐Ÿ˜. I guess the seal was not proper for a few years. Anyways, it's down the drain now ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

Beautiful 3-pass shave today. Five days left. I admit that I will miss this simplicity.

AA24 - Day 26 - Uitwaaien

There's a bit of a chill in the air this morning, and Uitwaaien felt like a good choice to pair with Varen.
