SOTD Thursday, 10/20/22

Greetings friends! I didn't really have a theme today, other than I wanted to use Proraso Red aftershave. So I sort of crafted this mild, middle of the road theme for the day.

Shower: Olay moisturizing body wash
Preshave: PAA Cube 2.0
Razor: Gillette Slim adjustable, set on 3.5
Blade: Astra SP
Soap: Maca Root and Aloe
Brush: AP G5C
Bowl: Timeless
Postshave: Cold water, Thayer's Witch Hazel/Aloe unscented, cold water
Aftershave: Proraso Red
Balm: Nivea Sensitive

I used the Gillette Slim today set to 3.5, which in retrospect may be a bit much exposure for me. I got a few nicks. Close shave the rest of the area, but some pretty good burn with the aftershave. I still haven't posted my "MOAMC" yet (Mother of all Mail Calls) as the gear is still flowing in. Maybe later today or this weekend, who knows. We have family coming to visit tomorrow for the weekend, so that's an extra 7 people in my house. 

Be well my friends, be kind and look up! Thanks for reading!
