Hot shower prep with Dial soap

My pre Palm Sunday shave

I think sometimes I underestimate the healing power of soap and hot water. Now with a clean and well hydrated beard I whipped up the Arko cream. I started with the blade in the razor and then with a couple of strokes I changed out the blade. Blades are too cheap to shave with a dull one. Let the cartridge guys exercise that privilege. Two passes and a little clean up around my mouth and just under my nostrils. The Aqua Velva was rather free flowing so it was nearly a second bath. Most Wanted added a few spring fragrance notes.

still very meh 🫤 over the Yaqi Ghost 0.9 and using the vintage Gillette Blue Extra further clouds the impression of the razor. Very much enjoying the MdC Vetyver sample.
