February 9, 2025

Brush: Dogwood Handcrafts with Declaration Grooming B10

Razor: ERN 6/8 French Point Full Hollow

Lather: Wholly Kaw - Entropy Man - Soap

Aftershave: Wholly Kaw - Entropy Man - Aftershave

Fragrance: Wholly Kaw - Entropy Man - Eau de Toilette

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.

This was my first use of the full Entropy Man trifecta. Wow! It was also a test shave for the coticule edge that I put on this razor yesterday. The edge performed magnificently. It gave me a very comfortable, BBS shave.

February 9, 2025

Brush: AP Shave Co. Handle w/26mm Maggard SHD

Razor: Blackland Era - Level 3 SB

Blade: Personna 74 (17)

Lather: Stirling Soap Co. - Arkadia - Soap

Post Shave: Noble Otter - Hamami - Aftershave

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

$discord

Arkadia notes: Orange, Vetiver, Black Pepper, Grapefruit, Cedar, Patchouli, Vanilla, Geranium

Orange and Grapefruit are undeniably “citrus”, but I’ll only count one of them to be conservative. Black pepper is peppercorn, just ground up. There’s no difference other than one is a dried fruit ball, and the other is a dried fruit ball, ground up. You could even pick up a container of Peppercorn at the store and exclaim to your shopping parter “look at this container of black pepper!”.

Such a good lather. It was from a sample so I smeared a bunch into a bowl and loaded almost all of it, which was a lot. As we all know, more soap = better lather.

On theme today with a smush of Catie’s Bubbles Retreat (shares vetiver, sandalwood, and citrus notes – 3/5 of Vetiver Moderne). Still in for now.

It is a very mild and pleasant scent that I found quite relaxing. It also gave an excellent lather.

Got home from a weekend of festivities only to find that the threads of my daily driver gave out. It was a Bevel DE kit i bought myself for Christmas back in 2021, so I’m a bit peeved i only got about 3 years out of it. The handle and base plate are still good, but the top cap is unusable.

Anyway, i need a cheap replacement and fast, and am looking for advice on how to prevent the threads from deteriorating in the future.

  I don’t think anyone here has experience with the Bevel, despite it being a common razor. It looks like it’s made out of zamak, which is common with safety razors.
  
  You might be able to replace the head and keep the handle, assuming the handle uses the standard M5 threads. Maggard razors has some heads to pick from (and handles). At that price point, zamak is your only option, and they’ll all likely last about the same amount of time if used daily.
  
  You’ll probably like the V3M from Maggard razors.

  - BakerBagel@midwest.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago
    Ended up going with a Parker Variant as well as an open comb Maggard head to experiment with on the bevel handle.
    
    I would love to upgrade to something nicer, but I’m stretched thin and don’t have the budget right now unfortunately.

Was yesterday the day when this competition went off the rails? With prominent contestants walden and priusaurus going for non-literal interpretations of the rules and violations of integer arithmetics, it may be over. We’ll see.

Anyway, this is a scent notes SOTD with ADP matching sandalwood, citrus, and vetiver.

Non literal, like calling Chiseled Face the artisan who made “LASSCO - Woody Lavender” perhaps?
