Brush: Maggard 24mm 2 Band Badger

Razor: Gillette Tech (Z-4)

Blade: Bolzano Superinox (Germany) (2)

Lather: Australian Private Reserve - Velours Noir - Soap

Post Shave: Chicago Grooming Co. - Frankie & Myrna - Aftershave

Post Shave: Goodfellow & Co. - Face Lotion - Kelp & Sea Mineral

I finished off my allMan balm (although I probably have a backup somewhere) which freed up the old Mammoth bottle with a pump. Goodfellow Face Lotion (a Target exclusive) has been treating me really well lately, so I transferred some into the pump bottle.

The lotion is very thick (similar to Declaration Grooming Liniment (but not as greasy)). I had trouble priming the pump, but now that it’s primed I don’t think I’ll have any problems.

The APR soap base has always treated me well. I just load the dickens out of it and work it until it’s not too puffy. I bet if I loaded a little drier it would be easier to work with.

Tue 12 Nov 2024

Brush: Mühle Purist (21 mm silvertip badger, ebonite handle)

Razor: Mühle R41 Twist

Blade: Feather new Hi-Stainless

Lather: Spearhead Shaving Company – Seaforth! 3 Scots

Post Shave: Spearhead Shaving Company – Seaforth! 3 Scots

Fragrance: Spearhead Shaving Company – Seaforth! 3 Scots

Very nice morning shave with 3 Scots a.k.a. Cool Spiced.

I’m not sure I’ve used the big R 41 Twist since I got the stainless steel and titanium versions. Over the next three days I’ll use all three of them in that order. Really great razor geometry IMO. The exposure is big enough to give good blade feel, but the blade feels well clamped. The result is great haptic feedback. If it had the toast butter audio feedback of the MMOC, it’d be too good 😊

  I figured you would do a 3-pass shave; one pass with each razor :) Three razors of the same model. That’s just conspicuous consumption. Watch out, that’s very American!

    That’s a good idea. I’ll do that on day three.
    
    Three razors of the same model.
    
    Yes, that’s just proper methodology. How else are you going to form an opinion on which material you prefer? Anything else would be highly irresponsible. Same goes for matching stainless/carbon steel Rausts, or my soon-to-be-complete weekly set of 14s 😇

Tuesday, November 12, 2024: Zingari Zischtig

Preshave: Proraso Green Preshave

Brush: Chisel & Hound Blaireau de la République with 24mm G5 Synthetic

Razor: Mühle R41 (3-piece)

Blade: Astra Superior Platinum (23)

Lather: Zingari Man Mousse Illuminée

Postshave: Naissance 702 Witch Hazel

Postshave: Zingari Man Bon Monsieur Recovery Splash

Postshave: Nivea After Shave Balm

Since @djundjila@sub.wetshaving.social used his entire collection of R41s today, I felt compelled to follow suit: I shaved with every R41 that I own (n=1).

I’m a bit under the weather since yesterday, and nauseous from time to time. Hope that this gets better soon.

Have a good evening!

November 12, 2024 - Tea for Twosday

Blade Holder: Gillette Super Speed Y4

Blade: Personna Lab Blue (9)

Lather: Noble Otter - Thé Noir et Vanille - Soap

Aftershave: Noble Otter - Thé Noir et Vanille - Aftershave

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.

TNeV is just stunningly good. There isn’t more that I can say about it.

November 12, 2024 - Tea for Twosday Too

Brush: Wald Nimbus Bloodline 27mm J3

Blade Holder: Gillette NEW SC

Blade: Personna Lab Blue (10)

Lather: Barrister and Mann - Cheshire - Soap

Aftershave: Barrister and Mann - Cheshire - Aftershave

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.

This was a very pleasant shave. There was no need for a 3-piece razor after the NEW short comb in my opinion. It’s an excellent razor. [Of course, the head should pivot, and it should accept 5 blades]

12.11.2024 - Coffee in the evening

Brush: AP Shave Co. Snakeskin handle w/ 26 mm Silksmoke Flattop/Fan hybrid knot

Razor: Stando Perun

Blade: Voskhod

Lather: WestMan - MazaGran

Post-Shave: Osma alum block; Westman - MazaGran balm

1 pass plus buffing on both head and face. Overall, a rather comfortable but not very close shave.

Figured some coffee notes would do wonders, so today was a call for WestMan’s MazaGran. A gourmand scent of a coffee cocktail. The base is rather picky to hydrate - seems like there’s not much room for error about adding too much water. That’s also why I did just one pass on each part… This matching balm also seems to have gone bad. Ugh, I definitely need replacements soon.

Coupled the Perun with a mild blade and suddenly it’s ill-equipped to deal with my face. It was comfortable in comparison to my Hawk V2 face shave, but it looks like I used a dry shaver. Well, all in all it’s not quite what I hoped for at this price point.

Also, first time today where I used alum but not on any spot that I shaved - the spots behind my ears are currently having a very hard time and are prone to breaking open, which hurts like hell. Alum was good to seal it up and I don’t mind that short-term sting much.

Scum! Tue 12 Nov 2024

Brush: Mühle Purist (21 mm silvertip badger, ebonite handle)

Razor: Mühle R41 Twist

Blade: Feather new Hi-Stainless

Lather: Schmiere Abschaum

Post Shave: Schmiere 1959

Image

Abschaum has the biggest discrepancy between the fragrance and its name. This scum smells clean and fresh like laundry detergent and I love it. The splash has a grandpa-y almost medicinal fragrance. It’s impossible not to enjoy this combination.

The big R41 Twist felt good, but since @gcgallant@sub.wetshaving.social suggested I should use all three R41s, one pass each, I feel like I’m doing it wrong 😅.

  Love the cover art on that soap and splash!

    Then you won’t be surprised to hear that I bought them just because they looked cool😅
