  • Brush: Rad Dinosaur Creations “Nebulagance” - TurnNShave Quartermoon 26mm synthetic
  • Razor: GEM - MMOC (first gen, 1930-1932)
  • Blade: Personna - GEM PTFE (3)

  First shave with my new-to-me MMOC went pretty well. It certainly feels more aggressive than my other GEM, a first-gen Clog-Pruf.

  I was slightly sloppy around my chin and got a couple of weepers. I think I just need to slow down a bit more and focus on my angle.

  Good results overall though. It’s an impressive little razor.

  • Brush: Wolf Whiskers – “Gianmaria” w/Maggard 26mm Synthetic
  • Razor: Chiseled Face - Legacy Raw Titanium (#69)
  • Blade: Bolzano Superinox (Germany) (4)
  • Lather: House of Mammoth - Mood Indigo - Soap
  • Post Shave: London Razors - Mountain Laurel - Aftershave
  • Post Shave: Goodfellow & Co. - Face Lotion - Kelp & Sea Mineral

  Sticking with this soap to see if:

  1. My nose will learn to smell it better (don’t call me crazy, this has happened before I swear)
  2. Maybe the deeper I go into the soap, the more frag oilz I’ll find

  Both sort of suspect hypotheses, but hey, whatever.

    I’ve experienced number 1 myself with both Mindigo and Hygge

    I have a hard time with Indigo as well. Everyone else loves the scent when I wear it, but I can’t help but think there’s parts of the scent that I’m missing out on. Some days I think I can pick up the scent better than others.

      I know what you mean. Some days I think “oh yeah, ok”, and other days (like today) I look around for the accent and don’t find much.
