  I have a blind experiment lined up for this month: I’ve sent @whosgotthepudding@sub.wetshaving.social two identical razors. They were only distinguishable by marks I’ve made on the tail. He has honed one on jnats and one on synths and I don’t know which is which.

  I’ll be trying both extensively over Straightember and hopefully develop a preference. Then Pudding will reveal which it is.

  Starting with the razor with one mark, I used it as is, i.e., without stropping. I can immediately tell why u/whosgotthepudding has his reputation. This edge is delightful! Sharp and smooth, the razor glides through the stubble. I’m looking forward to trying the other one with the same setup tomorrow.

  • Brush: Summer Break Soaps - Ord w/ TnS Quartermoon Synthetic
  • Razor: Chiseled Face - Legacy Brass
  • Blade: Fromm Hair Shaper
  • Lather: Catie’s Bubbles - Verdigris - Soap
  • Post Shave: Catie’s Bubbles - Top of the World - Aftershave
  • Fragrance: Catie’s Bubbles - Verdigris - EdP

  Finally another great shave. I forgot how quick a DE and a killer base help make the process so enjoyable. Somehow this little tub of soap and perfume made it to my door. I don’t feel confident in describing scents, but what I can say is that this that I really like this. If you look up the word Verdigris, imagine that in perfumery form that you (at least me) could wear everyday. Clean, non-offensive, approachable, yet unique and imaginative.

  This was my first use of Lumberjack Luxury; a soap and aftershave that arrived during August. I love everything about this set. The scent ticks all the boxes for me and the quality of the soap base and aftershave are excellent.

  This Puma razor has an Olympus edge on it. And is only the second razor I’ve used on that stone. I’m very impressed with the result I received. There’s nothing about it I could improve. It will be interesting to see if the stone has more capability in it.
