Share your shave of the day!
October 11, 2024
Brush: Oumo Compass Bonfire 27mm Emperor-2
Razor: Wade & Butcher 7/8" Fine India Steel
Lather: Wholly Kaw - Fougère Bouquet - Soap
Toner: Thayers - Lavender - Toner
Aftershave: Unilever - Brut - Aftershave
3 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
I haven’t done a 3-pass shave in long a while. To quote my friend @whosgotthepudding@sub.wetshaving.social : Close and comfortable shave, no nicks or irritation.

This was my first ever DE razor. I did some adjustments on it to get the gaps to match whatever chart I found online, make sure the safety bars were straight, etc. I have a bit of sweat equity in this one, haha.
I used it exclusively for a while, and did my initial “blade rotation” with it, which is where I discovered my fondness for Bolzano.
Sure enough, 4 years later, Bolzano is an excellent match for this razor.
Tomorrow will be yet another tub kill. Gotta love it.
Tough morning today, nursing a hangover and getting ready for the commute to work. Even though nice, a shave doesn’t help take the edge off. I’m annoyed that I can’t have a social life and wake up rested and refreshed the next morning anymore. Getting old --;
I like this little spartan Dovo. No frills, 5/8", round point. Stainless steel blade and scales. Utilitarian. I reminds be of the US army medical Weck Sextoblade, which I also enjoy. It’s a pity that Dovo has discontinued these and instead produces decorated pretend-fancy razors like the Runde Sache.
nursing a hangover and getting ready for the commute to work
Ah, that sucks a lot. Suffering through a day of work with a massive hangover is no joke… unfortunately I know this too well.
Getting old –
Hey, looking at the bright side: getting old beats the alternative of dying too young.
But I catch your drift. A few people always told me that it’ll gradually turn worse once you hit 30, and damn - some days they were damn right. 😮💨
beats the alternative
Definitely!
once you hit 30
I don’t know. I think I felt young until 40. Now, not so much😅

Happy Friday!

Great photo! The pattern of the tub reflecting perfectly in the R41 and matching nicely with its knurling is just superb composition 👌🏻

I can’t say enough good things about AG 1889. I used it all of August. It’s really worth getting a decant of Guerlain Jicky if you can. The soap and splash lean towards the fragrance, but the real thing lets you know why it has been around so long.

I need to look for a decant of Jicky, but until then, I agree that AG 1889 is amazing
