  Enjoyable shave today. Second use of No. 89 soap and splash. Feels ageless and completely authentic… I’m really enjoying this purchase.

  Today shave was pretty mid. No one’s fault but my own. I was dragging ass this morning and had to get out the door and so my lather was a little off and I got some irritation.

  One thing I should try to get better at is quick shaves. Luxurious ones are easy enough. Makes me wonder about tips to shave fast and get out the door.

  Oh so good. Raconteur is a very amazing scent. It’s great year-round, but if I had to pick one season to use it in, winter would probably win.

  Lavender, Interrupted is also amazing, and it has a similar warmth to Raconteur. Quite nice together.

  • Brush: Simpson Chubby 2 Manchurian
  • Razor: Zwilling J. A. Henckels Friodur Unnumbered 8/8" ( hollow ground, stainless steel, round point)
  • Lather: Catie’s Bubbles – Reflection
  • Post Shave: Highland Springs Soap Co. – Reflections
  • Fragrance: Chatillon Lux – Weinstrasse

  Happy green scents for a relaxed Saturday morning shave. I chose the reflection(s) combo simply for the nominal similarity, but they work together without clash. The lively Weinstrasse frag was just icing on the cake.

  I tend to (probably mistakenly) think that most bases are serviceable and give me great lathers if dialled in well and that bad lather is due to operator error, but this one is just so damn pleasant to use, and it practically dials itself in. Dense lather that hydrates super gradually. Simply delightful to use.

  The big Frio 8/8 and the soft Chubby are 👨‍🍳😘
