Day 24 of APRil, my face is healing up ok from yesterday’s bloodbath, just had to shave a little gingerly around the cuts.
Phew. My last straight razor shave was a dip in confidence, and today’s shave was a return of confidence. My last one was done while very very tired, which is obviously a bad idea. But, when you’re tired it’s hard to tell the good ideas from the bad sometimes.
Anyway, this is my 7th straight razor shave according to my new database. I keep finding myself repeating some age-old mantras that people always say about DE shaving – don’t use too much pressure, focus on the angle, don’t chase BBS, etc. I’m learning a new skill and it’s helpful to know to avoid these things, and it’s helping keep me out of trouble until I have more skillz.
Yayy, returned confidence ++

On theme with Island Man. Looking forward to heading home tomorrow and having access to all my stuff.
Have a good one y’all.

Have a good night.
Apr 24, 2025 - Theme Thursday: April Showers
I went more aquatic than Petrichor with today’s themed shave, using Navigator and Bixby, which was a very nice combo. I also used Roman Spice again today because it gets compliments.
Mountain Man is a dupe of Creed Silver Mountain Water, a scent meant “to evoke the sparkling high-mountain streams of water in the Swiss Alps.”, so definitely on theme today.
A super nice and clean-smelling BBS morning shave. The Moarteen edge has become butter smooth, and the Stirling-Moar Boar combo always gives me great lather.

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
No thinking needed to be on theme today. I simply followed @djundjila’sl lead. You can’t go wrong with any of Stirling’s “Man” series.
