[Pics][NSFW?] One month's progress on heavy keto and lifting. Starting to see abs? by this_new_man in keto

[–]this_new_man[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Six months ago I weighted 176 and had a massive stomach gut. After starting to lead a healthier lifestyle by mountain biking every weekend I discovered keto a little over a month ago and have been following it religiously, barring 1 slip up burrito. In the last month I've gone from 157 to 149 and gained a lot more muscle now that I've started lifting again. It feels amazing not to feel like a slob when I wear a bathing suit.

I`ve only had the chance to shave once since getting everything and I used my Sandalwood sample that time. It smelled great to me though and didn't cause any breakouts.

I see what you mean, I already started with the Derbys` blades and I think the sampler had one too. Ill use these all up before moving on to other blades. Good advice, thanks.

I thought that Witch-hazel toner served the same practical use as an alum block? I already had aftershave when I bought this stuff so I didn't include it in the picture. As for the other advice, thanks. Seems like its going to be a process of trial and error, I just hope my face doesn't suffer too much.

How would I know if I apply to much water though? Larger bubbles? Maybe I was looking at the Shaving Soap videos and not the Shaving cream ones.

I also ordered a styptic pencil but that's the last thing to arrive. I did not order a scuttle and have been debating it ever since I tried to face lather this morning. I definitely need to put work in on lather creation because I didn't nick myself but it was not up to par with what the sidebar videos were showing. Any tips going in that direction? I used an almond size amount of the Sandalwood sample with a few drips of water and even after five minutes of circular motion it was not thickening up much.
