  • Brush: AP Shave Co. black & clear handle w/ 30 mm Tuxedo Fan knot
  • Razor: RazoRock Cyber Medium w/ Superknurl handle
  • Blade: BIC Chrome Platinum
  • Lather: Summer Break Soaps - Rope Swing
  • Post-Shave: OAM sensitive skin toner

-> 1 pass head shave and a bit of buffing the dome with a cartridge razor (my safety razor fell down on the floor behind my washing machine and the blade was ruined by dust - shit happens).

Hottest day of the year so far so it was time for Rope Swing yet again! After suffering through the heat today, such a cold shave (also with cold water!) was really blissful. Just a toner today since balms tend to leave my head really sticky on hot days. Overall, a smooth and relaxing shave.

So tomorrow my practical exam finally starts, although with the written part first (documentation and care plan). Friday I'll need to put everything into action. Am I nervous? Sure. But I don't want to show it and I don't want to let it stop me. I'm well prepared and while it will be hard, I really want to get this done nicely.
