  This was a very successful test shave of a new Escher edge on this Engels Leader razor. Very close and very comfortable.

  Nirvana’s lead note is fig which places me on theme with today’s Theme Thursday on r/Wetshaving.

    Engels Leader

    Although it is a beautiful razor, on behalf of all tankies on lemmy, I have to object: obviously, Marx was the leader.

  Theme Thursday - Discovering the secret scents of Istanbul - 29 May 2025

  • Brush: Zenith - 506 N XS (extra soft horse)
  • Razor: Koraat – r/Wetshaving exclusive Moarteen (15/16", full hollow, carbon steel)
  • Lather: Abbate Y La Mantia – Verbena Toscana
  • Post Shave: №4711 – Echt Kölnisch Wasser
  • Fragrance: Atelier Rebul – Istanbul

  Today’s theme is perfectly fitting for this warm sunny day. Verbena Toscana is bright orange citrus with vervein and an absolute summer favourite of mine. Kölnisch Wasser is at the origins of Kolonya.

  AR Istanbul isn’t technically on theme, being a warm spicy scent, but hey, it’s right there in the name.
