  Didn’t load enough soap from the smush for this shoat knot, so the third pass was a little thin. Overall a nice shave and smelling great going into a sunny Friday morning.

    Shoat? I learned something new.

      My understanding is it’s just young boar.

      It’s a nice knot, though definitely still breaking in. Idk if it was a good call to use it to lather a smush.

  • Brush: Semogue Owner’s Club (cherry wood and boar)
  • Razor: Zwilling J. A. Henckels Friodur 50 (7/8", hollow ground, stainless steel, masonic deco)
  • Lather: Stirling Soap Co – Varen
  • Post Shave: Hâttric – Classic
  • Fragrance: Catie’s Bubbles – Blugère

  The last two days were really, really long. I’m a worrier, and Djunior had a routine surgery yesterday, and even if it’s routine and safe, these things stress me out. But he’s been recovering nicely and I’m starting to relax.

  This afternoon shave was a welcome moment to take care of myself for a bit, and it felt great. The SOC and Frio 50 were my AA razors last year and still feel like second nature. An edge refresh might be in order, but not urgently.

  The scent progression is a bit funny, but I didn’t take time to think it through, so I get what I get.

  Have a great weekend my friends!

  Oh, and if you’re part of Operation Moarteen, keep an eye out for an invoice e-mail from @gcgallant@sub.wetshaving.social. The razors are ready and will ship the moment we have collected all the funds, so please no stragglers, I’m impatient to get mine 😅
