Good Bye July, good bye Croatia
- Brush: Zenith 506B MB (27 mm × 55 mm Manchurian badger)
- Razor: Fatip - Lo Storto - Testa Dentata
- Blade: Derby Extra
- Lather: Barrister and Mann – Oceana (Soft Heart)
- Post Shave: Ralon – Sport
- Fragrance: Stirling Soap Co. – Island Man
Nice shave! Tomorrow morning, we’ll fly to our next vacation destination where my AA razor, stone, brush, and software have already arrived by mail, making this my last shave here in Croatia, and my last Anteausteritarian shave of 2024.
The soft heart and Fatip unsurprisingly treated me very well, but the real star of my travel setup for the July portion of our summer break was the Manchurian Zenith. This scrubby badger feels wonderful and makes lathering trivial. I’m looking forward to breaking in a SOC next month, but I can tell I’ll miss this badger.

Hey, what happened to BBS August? Don’t you have a 62-step AA program?
gcgallant@sub.wetshaving.social 4 months ago
I have a busy month coming up and was not convinced I could find the time. I think going without stropping will be an interesting enough challenge. I noticed that this year’s headless horseman allows stropping. 31 shaves on a good edge that is stropped daily doesn’t seem like much of a stretch to me.

Fair. BBS months take a lot of time.
31 shaves on a good edge that is stropped daily doesn’t seem like much of a stretch to me.
I think that’s part of the point. 31 shaves on an edge shouldn’t be difficult, and AA leads people to this realisation. At least for me, that’s how it went😅

Yes, looking forward to it!
It will be a bit of a leap of faith on my side. I wasn’t able to hone (or try) my AA razor before we left for vacation. I shipped my AA setup and my honing equipment to where were will be tomorrow evening and I’ll have to make it work 😅

An internet search for this results in, well, posts by you. A search for “Testa Dentata” without Lo Storto has a result for “Have doctors ever found teeth in a vagina?”
What is it?

Open comb, I would guess?
djundjila@sub.wetshaving.social 4 months ago
Huh, I’m not sure what’s happening here. I thought “testa dentata” (literally “toothed head” = “open comb”) was what Fatip called their open comb razors, but they call it “testina originale” (original diminutive head) on their website. I don’t write know where I have the expression from. I don’t speak Italian well enough to know such specific terms so I guess I would have seen it somewhere on the packaging?
This Italian online shop uses the same term, so I’m wondering whether Fatip changed their description at some point?
