Share your shave of the day!
Nov 10, 2024 - Travel Shave Day 2
Enjoy your Sunday!
November 10, 2024
Brush: Zenith B40 28mm Boar
Razor: Böker 14er 8/8" Full Hollow
Lather: The Cajun Blade - Wild Oud - Soap
Aftershave: Wholly Kaw - King of Oud - Aftershave
2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
This was a shave test of my Böker 14er that I honed yesterday. The shave result was excellent, but the square point poked me a couple of times. It was the point and could not possibly have been my technique. ;-) That kind of behavior results in the death of pointy points. It will be muted and will speak no more.
Pointy points ±; 😄
Glad you like the 14er and thanks for the video!
The punctures are healing very well, thankfully. Outside of poking myself, the actual shave quality was very comfortable and close.

Nice shave with an excellent soap base. This is the older base called – well shoot, I can’t think of it right now.

A tentative, but close comfortable shave. The areas I poked with the Böker this morning are healing very nicely.
Again, this tiny empty brush lathered ok, but sparked very little joy.

I used this two AAs in a row until my wife asked me to cool it with “the lemony one”. Such a treat to use.
This is my first time using the tiny Mühle (they call 21mm “medium” for some reason) with the pretty handle and it’s a real adjustment coming from bigger, denser knots. This thing has basically no back bone and feels empty. On the other hand, even on this first use, it lathered surprisingly well and had zero badger funk. I’m curious whether I will appreciate this style of brush after a few days of using it, or whether this was just a pricey mistake. Currently leaning mistake, but open to be convinced, since objectively, it didn’t make a bad lather at all.

The only badger knot I have that size I now use for talc. I was pretty set on 24mm as my max until I bought my 29mm Thäter. After that and the Wald 27mm I was spoiled.

I know what you mean. My other badgers are 27mm (Zenith), 28mm (dogclaration) and 30mm (Moar Badger) and it’s a different story.
I have a 24mm Dec B3 waiting for me at Eldrormr’s, and I’m curious about that. I think I would like a small denser knot like a B3 or a Maggards silvertip, but this sparse tiny knot is a not yet acquired taste 😅
