AA Day 27! Did a quick 2 pass-shave with some lather that was probably over hydrated. Still good though. I’ve noticed an issue with my soap tub, though. Anyone know what this could be? I’ve never seen it before.*

*give me a break. I’ve never been able to make that joke before.
I’ve seen this a few times before, and it’s nothing to worry about.
Good to know. Had me worrying about contaminates.

- Preshave: Proraso Green Preshave
- Brush: Zenith 506U XS Horse 🐎
- Razor: Greencult GC 2.0 II
- Blade: Astra Superior Platinum (26)
- Lather: Abbate y La Mantia Marduk
- Post Shave: Mennen Le Grand Large
- Post Shave: Nivea After Shave Balm
For some reason, I had to prepare a pâte à crêpes after lathering up. Now I can say that the lather of Marduk dries up suite a bit during cooking. So plan accordingly.
Have a good evening!
