  I am amazed at how good a straight shave feels compared with a DE shave. I have used DE razors for the last three days. You would think that the maneuverablility of the DE would provide the closer shave because you can get to difficult areas. But I have solved that with a straight. I can get the edge everywhere I want at angles that can cut beard cleanly. The post-shave feel from a straight is just so much better. I have no idea why.

  This Bismarck is one of my goto razors. The round point removes all the drama associated with pointy razors and this edge (Arkansas with Koma nagura slurry) is pure joy.

  I went full barbershop today, including the talc. Great way to start a Sunday!

  Ghost Town Barber is really nice sometimes. It’s relatively generic in that it’s very similar to other barbershop scents, but Ron claims it’s not a pre blend.

  I sort of successfully used my SOTD spreadsheet on my phone using Collabora through NextCloud. If you don’t know what that means, I don’t blame you. I struggle with the drop-down menus a bit, but not as much as I have in the past. Maybe with practice it’ll become faster, as it already has.

    That’s pretty sweet. Have you fully transitioned to Collabora, or do you still have ties to other cloud office tech services?

  • Lather: Abbate Y La Mantia – Koké

  Koké and Cerberus are a great pairing as always and the big 17 is one of my favourite razors.

    I would not have thought this until I tried it, but Cerberus pairs well with a large variety of scents. I don’t own one myself, but I have tried VW’s 17. I think I like it better than the Friodur 14. It has everything the 14 has with a slight bit more delicacy of feel. (Obviously IMO)
