-> 2-pass head shave. Not as close as I would've liked, but comfortable.
After a few days of only trimming my (remaining) hair down to barely noticeable lengths, it was great to finally go for a luxurious shave again.
Today was a good day for Ouddiction, but unfortunately I am a bit out of the loop when it comes to lathering K2e. It was very thin and sloppy, something that a lot of folks like for their face shaves, but as a head shaver I prefer a bit more cushion. I tried to redeem that on the second pass, but it wasn't that much better. Some days are just like this, I suppose I need to go with my crazy long loading technique for all soaps. The Cyber was very mild despite being the more aggressive version of the two heads RR offers, but well... this wasn't as close as I like my shaves to be. I'm kinda tempted to go with my OC or MMOC tomorrow.
After a short late shift yesterday and a day off today, I've got five early shifts ahead of me. Ugh. Getting up at 4:30 in the morning is way harder than still being awake at that time, but someone has to do it.
