SOTN - Blue Monday



prep - shower with Caprina Fresh Goat’s Milk with Shea Butter bar soap
razor - RazoRock Hawk v2 in "Electric Blue"
blade - KAI Captain Titan Mild (6)
brush - APShaveCo SynBad, with "Blue Lagoon" resin handle.
soap - Wilkinson Sword + Nivea cream
post - styptic pencil, warm water rinse, DSA “Pure & Natural” alum, cold water rinse
aftershave - Italian Barber's Amici splash (which is not at all blue)
music - streaming Radio Ndeke Luka

I like to combine several of my less-favoured elements (RR Hawk - which is rough, WS soap which has an awful scent, and Nivea cream which has a bland scent) for the "Blue Monday" theme photos. The novelty value is wearing off.
The soap-plus-cream combo lather is allegedly termed a "superlather". In this instance, not so much. It looked great, but the residual slickness was lacking.
In spite of applying far less pressure than usual, I got a whole bunch of nearly-invisible weepers. More alum feedback than usual too.

Even though I ended up with a BBS, I rate this shave 2½/5.
