  -> single pass WTG head shave again. Not very close, but comfortable nonetheless.

  Trying to be more active in wetshaving is difficult when there’s a thousand other things on your mind. I even had to get back to my bathroom because I couldn’t remember the right name for the artisan…

  However, this was a nice night shave to calm down before it’s back to nursing school tomorrow. Final month before the exams, crunch time. A nice shave helps to clear my head before this (figuratively and literally).

  Anyways, have a nice start into the new week! ✌🏻

  Great test shave for this razor! I created the edge with a Japanese Karasu natural stone and could not be happier with its comfort and closeness.

  345 Soaps has a great soap base for straight razor shaving, and the scent of Undercut (lily, patchouli, sandalwood, dash of vanilla, tobacco, cedar, amber) feels like a warm, perfect-weather day.

  Nice afternoon shave after a busy Sunday morning and a busy week. The Martin de Candre base works really well for me and the spearmint bubblegum scent of Absinthe is pure childlike joy.

  So I finally rehoned the River Razors Kamisori, into a smiling and very short kamisori. It works well enough.

  Have a good day!

      Not great, but I had to take off a bit of the nose, and it’s easier to hone an ex-straight straight when it has a smile

  Decent! One little cut that I barely noticed. I would have used a DE if I had known I was going to pick up some overtime at work today, but this shave is certainly acceptable for the job.
