I am so glad today is Friday.

2nd straight razor shave in the books, with some finishing up with the Blackland. I had spent an additional 20-30 minutes on my 10k stone yesterday in hopes that it would increase the sharpness, and it seems to have worked! The edge still sucks, though, and on my thicker chin whiskers it really struggles.
So, there’s hope yet for this cheap razor. Whether it’s worth the extra effort…? I bought this razor to play around with sharpening, so I might as well continue to play around with sharpening.
The smart thing to do would be to buy a ~3k and an 8k stone to do it properly… especially since I can see myself honing other razors in the future, but for now I’ll hold tight.
I have 2 other straight razors OFD today, so my thrill is pretty high!
If you have a 10K, you could get away with just a 4K or 5K stone and skip an 8K.

Frankly this work week has sucked and I’m glad to have a half day today. This sample puck is lasting a lot longer than I expected. Happy Friday!
Apr 18, 2025 - Fougère Friday: Sub-Exclusives Edition
A shave in my childhood bathroom. We’re visiting my family for Easter break, so no Moarteen for me for the next few days.
Hygge + Marlborough is a nice combo.
