I really like this base. This might be the first ever gourmand I’ve ever actually enjoyed.
It’s like rubbing carrot cake on my face, in a good way.

Fresh blade today. Didn’t feel a whole lot different than the P74 with 100 shaves on it, but it did feel slightly sharper. Less resistance on the chin, for example. Will I use the P74 again in the future? Maybe!

Went to the dentist today, and I went out without huge new works in planning. 😌
Have a good evening!

-> single pass, mostly WTG on both head and around the circle beard. Belated celebration shave of passing my practical exam. Not super smooth, but close and comfortable!
Haven’t used a GEM in a while and I still ask myself why. Sure, the MMOC is a bit rougher than my other razors, but this one? Mild, efficient, great audio feedback. My first ever contact with a GEM single edge razor was a Star 1912 that I won in a PIF and subsequently also PIFed to someone years later. I love the ease of the clamp mechanism holding the blade down, the grip of the handle, the weight… I know a lot of people complain how difficult it is to shave under the nose with GEMs, but for beards those things rock - really sharp lines are possible with enough patience and a steady hand. Since the last few days, I gradually trimmed back my long stubble and once again I arrived at the henriquatre/circle beard/full goatee. And it seems like this is actually the best look for my patchy growth, the extended version wasn’t looking very flattering at all 😅
Magnum is a great soap. Compared to modern bases, the lather is a bit more frothy/airy, but the scent is godlike. Truly one of my top tens just for scent alone… It’s masculine but still comfortable & a people pleaser. Kinda like an old cologne, so the name is very fitting. I’m still really proud of myself for passing 2/3 of all final exams and this was a nice reward.
Hooray!

Three passes, excellent results. The vanilla and tobacco in Haverford play nicely with the woody soap and splash. Very nice!
