  I don’t always trickhole, but when I do, it’s Y/R/P. ✌️

    YRP is so good!

    Remember the story of YRPete? I used to think it’s a bit depressing that a scent can get destroyed like this, and last time I looked for the link, I found out that the story had since received a sort of happy end :).

      Wow, good memory. Good advice from Cosmo, as per usual.

  Basking in Glorious Stankitude on day one of TabOKtober. Today was a test shave of this Pinget A St. Rampert that was sent for honing. Another razor that the owner of it will love, I think.

  -> 2 pass head shave and 1 pass neck cleanup. Good shave.

  A very late SOTN, but happy October to everyone! It’s actually one of my favourite months, favourite season in general and also: the start of spooky season in preparation for Halloween.

  Today’s soap is one of my first autumnal soaps I ever got, and it smells very similar to a Yankee Candle of the same name (my mom and me are avid fans of scented candles). It’s a Stirling soap, so it’s kind of a neverending story (haven’t used this one that much, but it still looks full!). It almost explodes with lather when a big brush is used and guarantees a good shave. Combined with an Ol’ Reliable like the Ever-Ready, it’s just relaxed and comfortable shaving. I still really like pairing Pomona with different scents, wore the EdP all day again and wanted to include it in my shave too.

  Wonderful shave this morning. After 60 days of using a SOC boar brush, this gigantic, luxurious, and warm badger fan was a more than welcome change. It’s on the floppy side and I will probably pull it out and drill a deeper hole in this handle at some point, but if I account for it, I still get wonderful lathers with it.

  The beautiful Böker with the dangerous point was wonderfully smooth, and I’m always impressed by the ergonomics of Böker shanks with their best-in-class jimping. This Abalone, my vintage S.S. Paris Wins, and u/Visceralwatch’s King Cutter (which I need to send off ASAP) all have this, and I really appreciate it.

  I wish you all a great day, and happy TabOKtoberfest to those who celebrate!

  Wow, great shave. I had a rough day and almost skipped shaving which would have been the first time in 4+ years. Luckily I started to feel better after a little nap and a long shower, and this was my reward.
