A quick cold shave this early morning. Last shave on the 7 O’clock Black. Was noticeably less sharp, but still pretty smooth. No tugging or dragging but had to go over certain spots a couple times more than usual to achieve my desired smoothness. I’m liking the cold shave more and more. Not going to totally switch over, but it’s nice.

Not that impressed with the Arko Cool Shaving cream. I mean it lathers well, and has decent glide, but almost no scent that I could detect, and no “cooling” effect at all. Still I achieved a BBS shave with it so it will continue to get used. Maybe I will get a TSD M-bomb and add to it. That actually sounds like a plan.

My Wednesday morning shaves always feel rushed due to the early time, so I never feel like I enjoy them as much as usual. Getting up even earlier is not an option though. That’s also why the SOTD gets posted later on Wednesdays.

Hope you had a productive day!
