2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.

Wonderful shave today. Glad to be back with a straight shave after two days of DE shaving. I never thought I’d see DE shaving quite this way.

The R41, in combination with NO’s lather, made quick work of the beard this morning. Plunder’s smokey/fresh scent paired with Laureato’s refined bay note made the shave very enjoyable.

  Sounds like a distress call with a stuffy nose. Everything alright? 😅
  
  R41++;
  
  I have to try Laureato again. I know I’ve tried it, but can’t remember it at all.

  I’m a big fan of smushing. I think I’ve smushed my tub of Petrichor twice so far.

    Same. I must have smushes my tub of Varen every day of its last week among us

A shave. Well, shave - more like a bloodbath. Inferno. Stalingrad 1942 was just a demo compared to what had happened in my bathroom.

A new razor, by Müller (German store) and their private brand Aveo. And the included blade. First I was impressed by how smooth and gentle it is. But when I used it against the grain, the horror had started. I can’t recommend it, at least not this razor/blade combo. A good splash of Pitralon to cool it down. Golddachs soap was excellent, as usual.

Razor: Müller Aveo - Butterfly (TTO) Blade: Aveo? (included with the razor) Brush: Aveo Soap: Golddachs Sandelholz (Sandalwood) Preshave: Hattric Aftershave: Pitralon + Alpa 378 (I used Alpa on the upper lip where the damage was the worst, to heal the skin)

3/10

    Pitralon is great, cheap, stable, it smells good.

  Hope you’ll have a speedy (and smooth) recovery. One of my very first shaves with the Wilkinson Classic and the included blades went like this too. Hopefully this won’t dissuade you from safety razors - I promise not all of them are as harsh!
  
  Also, greetings by a fellow german!

    I also have less than stelar experience with the included pack of Wilkinson (with the shavette), maybe there was a batch that was not good and by incident, all those blades were used for the shaving set.

Brush: Maggard 24mm Synthetic

Razor: Blackland Era - Level 3 SB

Blade: Personna Lab Blue (11)

Lather: Central Texas Soaps - Down By The River - Soap

Post Shave: Chatillon Lux - Gratiot League Square - Aftershave

The Era, especially Level 3, is such a nice buffer. That might be why I like it so much. Just buff buff buff all day long, nice close shave, feels good.

Tuesday, July 30, 2024: Summer Whine

Brush: Muninn Woodworks Gloire de France with Zenith 505BC Boar 🐗

Razor: Ertan Süer L’Ours Russe (7/8th)

Lather: Stirling Electric Sheep 🐑

Postshave: Naissance 702 Witch Hazel

Postshave: Stirling Electric Sheep Aftershave

Postshave: Nivea After Shave Balm

It’s extremely hot today – 36 degrees 🥵 🥵 , and we may be getting thunderstorms in the evening. Refreshment is badly needed! In our flat, we had everything closed the whole day, but we’re still above 28 degrees. I had trouble working today, because focusing in this heat is not obvious.

While shaving, I was listening to the original Summer Wine, but there’s also the cover version by Alex Kapranos.
