  Wednesday, July 10, 2024: Megalodon Mittwoch

  • Preshave: Proraso Green Preshave
  • Brush: Semogue C3 Galahad Horse 🐎
  • Razor: Ertan Süer L’Ours Russe (7/8th)
  • Lather: HAGS Megalodon
  • Postshave: Naissance 702 Witch Hazel
  • Postshave: Floid The Genuine
  • Postshave: Nivea After Shave Balm

  ---

  Another Wedensday, another Megalodon. The Hathor milk-based base is really very good, and the Russian Bear is also a very smooth shaver (it’s less hollow than my other razors, and I kind of like it).

  Have a good night!

    Have you tried a near wedge?

      The Sparsthwein is a near-wedge, no?

  If you enjoy a hot very humid sauna, then the mid-Atlantic states are a great place to be. There are worse areas, but it is only a matter of degree. So not a dry heat. Anyway, even though it is a tobacco-related scent, Shire is perfect for this. That’s totally counterintuitive, but it is.

    Shire is great for hot weather IMO. So fresh

  • Brush: Maggard 24mm Synthetic
  • Razor: Chiseled Face - Legacy Raw Titanium (#69)
  • Blade: Polsilver Super Iridium (8)
  • Lather: Barrister & Mann - Pencil Pusher - Soap
  • Post Shave: Summer Break Soaps - Woodshop - Aftershave

  Pencil Pusher does smell like a freshly sharpened pencil. Initially I thought maybe it was too sweet, but once I lathered it, it’s more accurate. Nice work, B&M!

  A few months ago there was someone on Reddit asking if there’s a scent that smells like pencils. And there is a scent that’s exactly that. Maybe it was an Alt account from Will? A little teaser?

    Maybe it was an Alt account from Will?

    Ooh, interesting, do you have the link for forensics?

    • walden@sub.wetshaving.social ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Yes, I went back and answered the guy! I think he’s a real person, not an alt. www.reddit.com/r/Wetshaving/comments/…/kuepxq7/

  Roaming Humpday

  • Brush: Zenith r/Wetshaving exclusive MOAR BOAR (31 mm × 57 mm bleached boar)
  • Razor: GEM Micromatic Open Comb (second generation, Djudge razor)
  • Blade: Personna GEM PTFE
  • Lather: Barrister and Mann – Roam
  • Post Shave: Barrister and Mann – Roam
  • Fragrance: House of Mammoth – Shire 2

  I recently got a sample of Roam Two, so a djudicially coordinated OG Roam shave with u/EldrormR is perfect to remind me before trying the reinterpretation. Roam Two has big shoes to fill.

  Lovely shave with the Djudge Razor, the M❤AR B❤AR, and Soft Heart.

  Shire is a Roam before the rain.
