  After a long time, back to Zingari Zischtig. This was the first time using a Zingari Recovery Splash, and this is just another level of splash. How could I live my life without it? I don’t know.

  Here, we have a long weekend coming, with tomorrow Victory 1945, followed by Ascension Day, and a Friday where all schools are closed. I’ll have to work, though 😭😭

  Have a good evening!

  5/7/24

  • Brush: Muninn Woodworks w/ C&H V19 Fanchurian
  • Razor: Iberia 14 Doble Temple 8/8, Extra Hollow Square Point
  • Lather: Los Jabones de Joserra - Passion Incense
  • Post Shave: Spearhead Shaving - Seaforth! Black Watch Aftershave Splash
  • Post Shave: Los Jabones de Joserra - Passion Incense Aftershave Balm
  • Fragrance: Spearhead Shaving - Seaforth! Black Watch EdT

  This Iberia just landed yesterday. So I immediately has to take it to the stones. I set the bevel on a 3k Hayate Yoshihiro synthetic, then went to Kasumi with my Shobudani Suita and finished on my Nakayama Kiita. I stropped suede/leather on my Kanayama. The resulting edge was fantastic.

  I’ve seen it boasted that Iberia’s have a better feel even than Filarmonica. With no exaggeration, I agree with that. The steel felt incredible. Light and extremely gentle, it has that amazing Swedish steel feel. Crazy happy with this razor.

  I took a page out of u/oswald_heist’s book and decided to pair Black Watch with Passion Incense. Super nice pairing.

  Wonderful shave this morning. Image

  I haven’t used Stirling’s Bleu Man in a while. Great dupe!

  This was a test shave. The razor is owned by u/VisceralWatch, and I’m tempted not to return it. Love the size of this razor. The 7/8 width provides just enough reach for me to get the kind of angles I can get with 8/8, and it has just a bit more maneuverability.

  Anyway, ethics prevents me from keeping this razor, so I’ll be returning it. Since this was a test shave, naturally, I made a video of honing it.
