  A morning shave, everything well. Making progress on the kill – the omega of death has transformed into a C (or a U?) of death.

  Have a good day!

  The penultimate Stankening of TabOKtoberfest 2024 was a nice one. The Médaille d’Or with the pitted surface is a smooth loud shaver that is a joy to use. I like its utilitarian design. There’s nothing opulent about it. No fancy gold, no flashy special point design, just a big square point hollow ground that shaves well.

    I love the character in these old straights. The ornate etchings and gold watches used in the early 20th century is really special. Great pic, btw!

  Lycanthropy has slowly become one of my favorite SW scents. It paired nicely with Confluence, and now I am out of my sample of the EdP. It might be time to restock soon.

  A very quick, but totally enjoyable shave today. I haven’t done a Black WatchDay in a while. I gave some thought to making it a Black WedgeDay, but I have really enjoyed this Koma nagura on Black Arkansas edge that I have on the Iron Chancellor.

  • Lather: Southern Witchcrafts - GraveFruit II

  2 pass head shave. Gave my face some rest as I currently have a bit of a sore throat (yay for everyone around me being sick atm).

  It’s Witchcrafts Wednesday, it’s the season of the witch - and this tub features a skull with grapefruits! What a perfect fit for today.

  GF2 is one of my all-time favourites, as some of you already know. It’s firmly in my top 10 of amazing scents. It’s fresh citrus without smelling like toilet cleaner. It has an aura of sophistication, something very intriguing, almost enchanting - true to the SW name. I never had the opportunity to smell the original, but this one is bliss. This fragrance was created by Shawn Maher and it shows that he’s a very skilled perfumer. Yeah, it’s a bit better suited for the warmer seasons. But this doesn’t stop me from occasionally enjoying it even in winter!

  Instead of rambling around about the concept of witches like an idiot, I’ll just leave you some music that combines the young genre of ‘Witch House’ with old folk: Untitled Burial Mix 2
