  • Brush: Yaqi 26mm Synthetic
  • Razor: Karve Overlander
  • Blade: Pro Edge Platinum [10]
  • Lather: Chiseled Face - Vert Noir - Soap
  • Post Shave: Chiseled Face - Vert Noir - Aftershave

Good shave. Earthy odd ball scent that I’m getting used to now.

It’s still really cold here and it sounds like we will be waiting for the weekend to get some relief.

January 16, 2024 -- Two Tea for Tuesday

  • Brush: Brad Sears Scotsman XL 28mm Super Badger

  • Razor: Dubl Duck 5/8" Full Hollow

  • Lather: Barrister and Mann - Cheshire - Soap

  • Toner: Thayers - Lemon - Toner

  • Aftershave: Noble Otter - Thé Noir et Vanille - Aftershave

  • Talc: Yardley Gold
     
    2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


Okay, since I don't have a Tabak Oridjinal, I'm free to interpret Tuesday more broadly :) Here's my Tabac-Tuesday SOTD ...

I'm borrowing the idea of using two tea scents from @djundjila who did it Sunday. Cheshire and TNeV pair very well. I thought that the TNeV aftershave would be a bit like a dessert tea, but I actually think TNeV soap followed by Cheshire aftershave might feel more like a main course followed by dessert.

This was my second shave on the Belgian Coticule/Black Arkansas edge that I put on this razor a couple of weeks ago. Wow, is it sharp! It is very comfortable, though, and I was completely surprised by the closeness of today's result. Great shave today!

"more broadly" 😂

Cheshire++;
Thé Noir et Vanille++;

I'll have to try those two together!

Top or Flop?

  • Brush: Dogwood Handcrafts Tabak Oridjinal, now with 28 mm Gelousy knot
  • Razor: Zwilling J. A. Henckels Friodur 14 (8/8", extra hollow ground, stainless steel)
  • Lather: Mäurer & Wirtz Tabac Original
  • Aftershave: Mäurer & Wirtz Tabac Original
  • Fragrance: Mäurer & Wirtz Tabac Original
  • Talc: Pinaud Clubman Finest Powder

The new Gelousy knot in my Stank Whisk® lathers super easily already (second use today). The loft on this thing is a bit high, though (about 57mm - 58mm) and the brush feels quite floppy as a result. I'll have to decide whether it's worth the effort to pull the knot and drill the hole deeper. I should just get it done immediately, but I'll probably procrastinate and agonise over the decision for way too long 😅

Otherwise, this was a great shave. The big Frio 14 is a pleasure to use, and something about it's heft or geometry makes this form factor feel very mild. It's the quadrature of the tonsorial circle: cold efficiency and mild experience in seeming harmony.

Have a Stanky Tuesday (or not, if that's not your proclivity)!

This is the way

[-] djundjila@sub.wetshaving.social 4 points 10 months ago

I have spoken.

No - why procrastinate today, when you can procrastinate tomorrow?

[-] djundjila@sub.wetshaving.social 4 points 10 months ago

You again with the good questions!

[-] walden@sub.wetshaving.social 3 points 10 months ago

You could always pull a B&B and put some elastic bands at the base of the knot.

[-] djundjila@sub.wetshaving.social 3 points 10 months ago

True. I could 😮‍💨

  • Brush: Maggard 24mm 2 Band Badger
  • Razor: Chiseled Face - Legacy Raw Titanium (#69)
  • Blade: Elios Inoxidable (5)
  • Lather: House of Mammoth - Tobacconist - Soap
  • Post Shave: Razorock - Puros - Aftershave
  • Post Shave: House of Mammoth/Declaration Grooming - Cerberus - Liniment

I didn't feel like using Tabac today, so instead I used stuff that actually smells like tobacco (except maybe Cerberus).
