  This is another new coticule edge. Like yesterday’s it is very comfortable and the result is very close. Unlike with Jnats, I always feel as if a coticule has more keenness that it can give. In my experience, I have yet to find one that does.

  July 7th, 2025: Centennial

  • Brush: Wolf Whiskers - “Gianmaria” w/Maggard 26mm Synthetic
  • Razor: Blackland Era - Level 3
  • Blade: Personna P74 (100)
  • Lather: Stirling Soap Co. - Haverford - Soap
  • Post Shave: RazoRock - Puros - Aftershave
  • Post Shave: Dove - Men+Care Ultra-Hydra - Cream
  • Fragrance: Azzaro - Pour Homme Night Time - EdT

  100 uses! And it still shaves like new, maybe even better than new. Tomorrow I’ll use a Bolzano with my Blackland Era which is one of my favorite combos. After using this blade for a while I expect it to feel different, but perform about the same.

  I’ve been using this blade since January 17th, 2025, which was 171 days ago. That means I’ve had 71 non-DE shaves since then, as I shave every day. I’ve done 40 straight razor shaves, so that leaves 31 shaves with a cartridge (while traveling for work). I haven’t strayed from this DE blade or used any GEM razors in that time period.

  I was giving a friend scent recommendations for Stirling yesterday and remembered about my Haverford sample. I absolutely love it and should get a tub.

    Congrats on 100

    Haverford++, it’s a great scent.

    I saw somewhere recently (perhaps on Discord?) that Rod is having trouble getting the materials to make it. If you want a tub, it might be a good idea to order soon.

      Thanks! I never pictured myself “pushing” a blade this far because blades are cheap and it’s not worth getting bad shaves just to claim you got 100 out of a blade… But here we are. This thing just kept going.

  July 7th, 2025: Monday Mike’s

  • Brush: Omega - Bambino Boar
  • Razor: Merkur - 34C
  • Blade: Gillette Silver Blue
  • Lather: Mike’s Natural Soaps - Vetiver (Stick) - Soap
  • Post Shave: Catie’s Bubbles - Top of the World - Aftershave

  Started out with my Schick Injector, but it felt incredibly tuggy. Went with the 34C because it already had a blade in it. First use with a shave stick and it went pretty well. Monday is for Mike’s!
