  Happy Moarteen day 🎉.

  About a month ago, these glittery green razors started landing in their dens and it’s interesting what happened: exactly half of the razors never showed up in an SOTD post. Cold feet? Secret shaves? Nobody knows.

  Either way, lovely shave with the sub exclusive hardware, and Mountain Man/Silver Mountain Water is a very enjoyable placeholder until the sub exclusive I, Rich Moose can complete the colour-coordinated 100% sub exclusive SOTD.

  My fourth shave with Moarteen went relatively well all things considered. No nicks, slices, or blood. Two passes then a finishing ATG pass with the Legacy to get as close a finish as I wanted. Slowly but surely the technique is coming along!

  SV is really really good

  first time I used it and the lather is easily on par with most other soaps I have. A bit drying on the skin, but once I rinsed off properly and applied the balm it was fine. Moarteen for the theme, Dirtyver because it’s a green scent, lemon lime balm because the packaging is green

  • Lather: Catie’s Bubbles - Mille Chypre - Soap
  • Post Shave: Catie’s Bubbles - Literal Lilac - Aftershave

  I’m not sure of the reason, but of the chypres I have tried, they have a slight soda-like element to them. Anyway, I got a really good shave this morning. Im really pleased how pleasant this Literal Lilac.

    I legit thought it was the Wednesday STD thread and folks had to post their best rash pics.

    Too much time on reddit I suppose.
