Share your shave of the day.
Quartidi 14 Ventôse an 233 de la Révolution, jour de Vélar
I’ll be traveling tomorrow (only by train, so no disposables), so this will be my last straight shave until the weekend.
Have a good evening!

A good shave before going out for dinner. I really miss my real razors by this point. These disposables spark no joy.

Agreed. I try to find an excuse for paying for checked luggage whenever possible, just so I can travel with a good razor
I may need to do the same. This is the second or third trip where I’ve convinced myself that it’s not that big of a deal and it’s worth it to not check a bag.
I’m less convinced that’s true after this trip. They just feel so damn cheap to use.
MARCH MADNESS 2025 DAY 4
Kind of been on a synth kick lately. TotW is a ridiculously good scent and the lather is excellent as well. I really slept on CB, but bettter late than never.

Same for me.
So much soap; so little beard.

Really hit the spot. This blade is a dream, and pairs so well with all of my favorite razors.
This soap was PIF’d to me years ago by ShavingInCT. He did the PIF on r/wicked_edge, so obviously it was before my “w_e is bad” phase.
The acent on this soap is really very very good. It’s almost cologney for lack of a better word. I don’t know how to describe it. Not a dark vetiver.

Ok, this MM format seems to carry more potential for surprises than the brackets last year and I’m loving it so far. The bot’s last count (a couple hours before shavinginct’s official count) has Chiseled Face, Declaration Grooming and Wholly Kaw tied for last.

I definitely wouldn’t have predicted that wholly Kaw could outlast these two and here we are, it’s down to tie breakers. I’m also curious to see whether Mammoth’s strong showing is due to Monday or the Mafia and it’s worth noting that the Talent crew seems to have started bleeding followers despite the total number of participant growing significantly. We’ll see, there is still time for stragglers to change the result around the edges.
I had a fantastic shave this morning. AS2EB had interfered with my regular Tabac Tuesdays and I’ve missed them. There’s just something about a totally familiar setup to come back to every once in a while that really appeals to me. Oh, and I love the Stank®.
The Böker with the vicious pointy point is also becoming a favourite. It requires more concentration than my other razors and forces me to slow down and use different geometries.

I was surprised to see Wholly Kaw eliminated and Declaration towards the bottom also. Happy that CB is doing well. Though I only have 3 of Chris’ soaps. I intend to get another at the Maggard Meetup.

I was also surprised, but I guess it makes sense. Wholly Kaw’s scents aren’t sub favourites and fever have been. DG went from active in the sub to radio silence, and he has lost a lot of goodwill in the last year or so with his super delayed brushes, where customers would wait for months after having paid. CF is a solid brand, but if you look above in the list, I can really point see TSF and Macduffs who would visit have been less popular a year or two ago.
So maybe we were just stuck in the past mentally?
