Wonderful shave today. Glad to be back with a straight shave after two days of DE shaving. I never thought I'd see DE shaving quite this way.

Bay Day

  • Brush: Maritime Brush Co Box Puffer 24mm M5C Synthentic Knot
  • Razor: Mรผhle R41
  • Blade: Gillette 7 Oโ€™Clock Super Stainless (Green) [11]
  • Lather: Noble Otter - Plunder - Soap
  • Post Shave: Abbate y La Mantia - Laureato - Aftershave
  • Fragrance: Chicago Grooming Co. - El Caballero - Eau de Parfum

The R41, in combination with NO's lather, made quick work of the beard this morning. Plunder's smokey/fresh scent paired with Laureato's refined bay note made the shave very enjoyable.

Bay Day

Sounds like a distress call with a stuffy nose. Everything alright? ๐Ÿ˜…

R41++;

I have to try Laureato again. I know I've tried it, but can't remember it at all.

At the time, you really liked it. ๐Ÿ˜…

The ring of death is making loading difficult, I'll soon have to smush it down. Fascinating stuff.

I'm a big fan of smushing. I think I've smushed my tub of Petrichor twice so far.

Same. I must have smushes my tub of Varen every day of its last week among us

Tuesday, July 30, 2024: Summer Whine


It's extremely hot today โ€“ 36 degrees ๐Ÿฅต ๐Ÿฅต , and we may be getting thunderstorms in the evening. Refreshment is badly needed! In our flat, we had everything closed the whole day, but we're still above 28 degrees. I had trouble working today, because focusing in this heat is not obvious.

While shaving, I was listening to the original Summer Wine, but there's also the cover version by Alex Kapranos.

  • Brush: Maggard 24mm Synthetic
  • Razor: Blackland Era - Level 3 SB
  • Blade: Personna Lab Blue (11)
  • Lather: Central Texas Soaps - Down By The River - Soap
  • Post Shave: Chatillon Lux - Gratiot League Square - Aftershave

The Era, especially Level 3, is such a nice buffer. That might be why I like it so much. Just buff buff buff all day long, nice close shave, feels good.
