July 12th, 2025: Straight no chaser
- Brush: Wolf Whiskers - “Gianmaria” w/Maggard 26mm Synthetic
- Razor: Koraat 15/16 Full Hollow - Sub Exclusive ‘Moarteen’ (15)
- Lather: Stirling Soap Co. - Haverford - Soap
- Post Shave: Chatillon Lux - Sni Mato - Aftershave
I thought this shave went decently well until I put the aftershave on… woof! After using a DE for a little while in order to finish a marathon, I’m getting back into other types of razors. Shaving with a straight isn’t much like riding a bike.
Yet another plug for the new version of the SDS. Some nice updates if I do say so!

Give it some time 🙂 After a DE shave, my skin feels slightly raw on application of a splash. I don’t get this after a shave with a straight razor. Neither type of razor gives me irritation.
