Monday, February 12, 2024: Dwarvish blade for Haslinger Hétfő
This is my second try with the Barbarossa – it still feels a bit awkward, but I'm getting there. The shave itself was nice enough, even though I have the impression that I pay somewhat less attention to what I do than when I'm using a full-length blade – and that might bite me one day. Tomorrow (or Wednesday?) I will try a normal straight, and see how this works in comparison.
The ring of death (certainly one of the rings of power) is increasing in diameter. I have no idea how many shaves are still in this soap, but I would guess that its somewhere between 10 and 20.
Have a good night!

How many languages did you need to check to find Haslinger Hétfő? 😊
When Stirling February is over, I'll copy this shave for un Lundi Lièvre
If I remember correctly, I asked perplexity.ai (and for an Austrian soap, Hungarian is an obvious choice) 😎
But it came up empty for days starting with 'a' or 'i' for AYLM and Ishtar, and for 'st' for Stirling. Someday, I'll have to dig deeper!
(Awesome Abbate y la) Mantia Monday? No, not quite good yet ..
Stirling Stille Omgang is coming up in March! 😅
🤔
