June 22nd, 2025: Day 22
- Brush: Maggard Razors - Tuxedo 24mm Synthetic
- Razor: Gold Dollar Straight Razor (6)
- Lather: Stirling Soap Co. - Lavender Sage - Soap
- Post Shave: Chatillon Lux - Sni Mato - Aftershave
- Post Shave: Dove - Men+Care Ultra-Hydra - Cream
- Fragrance: Berceuse Parfum - Allegretto 7.2 - EdP
Theme justification: it says in the rules that this one is on theme. Easy!
Lavender Sage into Sni Mato into Allegretto 7.2 makes no sense at all. I should have used this combo for non-complimentary clash day. Woof.
I can’t believe this razor still shaves. Honestly it’s decent, but in my non-expert opinion it might be ready for a refresh despite having only been used a handful of times.
This was the very first straight razor I got, and right away I put a chip in by using it as a knife because why not. So it was the first razor I ever honed, removing a bunch of material to get rid of the chip. So the fact that it actually works is surprising.

This can be true for a new Gold Dollar :). I think refreshing the edge more frequently makes sense when you’re becoming accustomed to a straight razor. It helps to focus on technique when you’re confident that the edge is good.
