July 22nd, 2025: Moarteen
- Brush: Ever-Ready - 400 w/Motherload 30mm Synthetic
- Razor: Koraat 15/16 Full Hollow - Sub Exclusive ‘Moarteen’ (16)
- Lather: Fanzine Saponifications - Test… Test… 123 - Soap
- Post Shave: Pinaud - Clubman Special Reserve - Aftershave
- Post Shave: Dove - Men+Care Ultra-Hydra - Cream
- Fragrance: Cross/Cut - Warm Woods - EdC
The razor felt tuggy for the first time that I remember. By the 3rd pass, though, things felt great. It’s possible that my lather wasn’t hydrating the whiskers properly. This is the first batch of Fanzine test soap, and I adore it, but it has a wide range of water options. By the 3rd pass I think I had it dialed in a bit better for this type of shaving.
The results are excellent. Very close, and despite the tugging I didn’t get any irritation.

It would not be unusual for you to start feeling differences in the edge between 15 and 30 shaves. Let me know when you want a Jnat edge on that :)

I may do that after giving it another couple of shaves…
