    June 13, 2023 - Tabac Tuesday

    • Brush: Yaqi Cola 22mm Synthetic
    • Razor: Karve CB C Solid Bar
    • Blade: Gillette 7 O’Clock Super Stainless Green (8)
    • Lather: Mäurer and Wirtz - Tabac Original
    • Post Shave: Mäurer and Wirtz - Tabac Aftershave Lotion
    • Fragrance: Mäurer and Wirtz- Tabac EdP

    It is an after dinner shave today. As usual, brought out Tabac for this Tuesday shave.

  • June 13, 2023 – [42]uesday

    • Brush: West Coast Shaving Clear Smoke Burlwood 26 mm
    • Razor: Timeless Titanium Slim
    • Blade: Durablade Sharp Titanium (4)
    • Lather: Barrister and Mann – 42
    • Post Shave: Barrister and Mann – 42

    A cold and rainy late spring day and I felt like reaching for some more Barrister and Mann. I’m getting a better appreciation for the Ti Slim. I used to think it was too aggressive, but I was just applying too much pressure since I’m used to heavier razors.

    Hope your day is bright.

    • Brush: AP Shave Co. - 24mm 2Bed Synthetic
    • Razor: Baili BD179 TTO
    • Blade: Super-Max Super Platinum (3)
    • Lather: Barrister & Mann - Lavanille - Soap
    • Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Santa Noir - Aftershave
    • Post Shave: Eurfros - Dama Noche - Balm

    Haven’t used this razor in a considerable amount of time. I think one side is more aggressive than the other. I got a nice shave, but the feel – neigh, the soul of this razor, doesn’t speak to me. Still, I’m going to use it for the next few days because I’m traveling.

    • Lather: Barrister and Mann – Mûir(e) Wood

    Busted out the Karve to do a full 3 pass today. Was going to let my hair grow out this summer, but the inflammation and dandruff is already unbearable, so definitely shaving my head again tomorrow.

    • Lather: House of Mammoth - Shire Soap
    • Brush: Zenith - MOAR BOAR
    • Razor: Gillette - Slim Adjustable
    • Blade: Gillette - Silver Blue
    • Osma: Osma - Osma
    • Splash: House of Mammoth - Shire
    • Balm: Stirling Soap Co. - Unscented
    • Scuttle: Georgetown Pottery - G20

    I had a great shave yesterday with the Slim Adjustable, but today’s was awful. Yesterday I was impressed with how efficient it was on 9, today on both 7 and 9 I was left with quite a bit of discomfort. I was going to use this on my trip, but now I’m rethinking that.

    • Brush: Wild West Brushworks Blue Space 26mm Cashmere

    • Razor: Dovo Facharbeit 6/8" Full Hollow Square Point (Straight Shave 252)

    • Lather: Barrister and Mann - Marilyn - Soap

    • Post Shave: Thayers - Rose - Toner

    • Post Shave: Zingari Man - Unscented - Balm

    • Fragrance: Barrister and Mann - Marilyn - Eau de Toilette  

    3 passes. Bowl lather. Excellent shave.

    I’m really enjoying 3-pass shaves again. Three quick passes takes only a little longer than two more deliberate passes and I enjoy the experience more.

    Marilyn is stunning. Pun intended.

    • Brush: Semogue - Semogue Owners Club
    • Razor: Razorock GameChanger .84p
    • Blade: Gillette Nacet
    • Lather: Blades Grim - Smolder
    • Post Shave: Lucky Tiger Splash

    Super happy to have the GC back. While Blades Grim as a company is questionable I still love the way this soap smells. It’s like toasted marshmallows, and it makes a good lather. This was an amazing shave. 10 of 10 would highly recommend.

    • Brush: Zenith MOAR BOAR

    • Razor: Muhle Rocca R95

    • Blade: Derby Premium (2)

    • Lather: Stirling - Vanilla Sandalwood

    • Post Shave: Stirling - Sandalwood splash

    • Fragrance: D.S. & Durga - Radio Bombay

    Stirling and MOAR BOAR is such a great combination, I got an easy lather from this endless tub. I had a much better shave with the Rocca than I did last time, which confirms that the bad shave must have been a fluke. Good to know I’m not losing my touch.

    I got assigned to an annoying workflow so I’m going to do the bare-ass minimum today

    Jun 13, 2023 - Phantom of Kyiv

    • Prep: Klar - Activated Charcoal - Face Soap
    • Brush: Shore Shave Honey Jar 26mm Plisson Knot
    • Razor: Blackland Razors Blackbird Ti
    • Blade: Personna Lab Blue [13]
    • Lather: Areffa Soap - Phantom of Kyiv - Soap
    • Post Shave: Areffa Soap - Phantom of Kyiv - Aftershave

    Phantom of Kyiv is a refreshing scent: woody with a citrus opening. Areffa has several soap bases, and this is in their beef tallow base. It was easy to work with and produced a slick, dense lather.

    Rating: 4/5

    Edit: I also wanted to point out the cool Made in Ukraine stamp in the soap.

    SOTD Jun 13, 2023

    • Brush: Dogwood Handcrafts “Dune” 28mm DG B8
    • Razor: Blackland Sabre
    • Blade: GEM (37)
    • Lather: Ariana & Evans - Cha Cha Matcha - Shaving Soap
    • Post Shave: Ariana & Evans - Cha Cha Matcha - Aftershave
    • Fragrance: House of Mammoth - Dammusi
    • Passes: WTG, XTG
    • Coffee: Colombia/Indonesia Blend
    • Music: James - Be Opened by the Wonderful

    I think it’s time to change this blade. No horrible tugging, but there’s also a minute roughness that I’m attributing to a dull blade.
