1 Dec 2025
- Pre-shave: Face wash w/ hot water
- Razor: Henson Mild (v1)
- Blade: Lord Platinums (3rd use)
- Brush: Yaqi Tiberwolf Synthetic 26mm
- Soap: The Goodfellas “Abysso”
- Passes: 2 x WTG pass on face and neck
- Post-shave: Alum, TFS witch hazel
- Growth: 10 days (very thick & long stubble)
- Result: Presentable on the face, a massacre on the neck
Oof, what can I say. I used a dull blade, a Henson and too little soap. This time around I thought I’d only do two WTG passes because the last ATG pass had left eight small scars on my cheeks, which became visible upon stretching the skin. Then, magically, they disappeared overnight. So maybe it was some really minor surface nicks, IDK. Today, the neck took a hit, though. I'll let it heal and then I think I’ll shave again in two days, was left with some hair on my jawline.
Black Friday came and went, didn’t buy anything. Have minor regrets, wanted to get a 6C and some SV, but didn’t allow myself to pull the trigger. Then today wasted some money on other, non-shaving-related things. So it goes.
Have a good one, ladies and gents!

Quick shave to start a busy Monday. Oh, and today is the start of AoC!
-
Do you participate in AoC every year?
I’ve started a couple years but always struggle to finish.
-
Unfortunately not. I used to a few years ago, but last year I didn't participate, and the year before I didn't finish.
New year, new chance!

AoC is something that I like the idea of, especially to see other people's solutions. I'm always impressed at how clever people can be. Especially with coding. I entered the IOCCC in the 80's. It was fun to participate but more fun to see other people's creations.
