  Day 3/31 of TabOKtoberfest

  • Brush: Dogwood Handcrafts Tabak Oridjinal, now with 28 mm Gelousy knot
  • Razor: Raido Star – 堕落の剃刀 Razor of Depravity (8/8", extra hollow, carbon steel kamisori) 🇺🇦
  • Lather: Mäurer & Wirtz – Tabac Original
  • Post Shave: Mäurer & Wirtz – Tabac Original
  • Fragrance: Mäurer & Wirtz – Tabac Original

  Image My degenerate kamisori has landed! This form factor is completely new to me, so I’ve been impatiently waiting to try it out.

  Image

  This thing is a beauty: folding kamisori configuration, symmetric (western) grind, full 8/8" width, short blade (compared to western straights with their ~70 mm edge lengths, normal by kamisori standards), polished finish, and —of course— the mark of degeneracy. It looks and feels really well-made, and the beautiful faux-tortoise shell scales sit tight and perfectly centre. Roman knows his razor-making.

  Image

  The geometry felt immediately comfortable. The tang is fat and square and gives good control of the edge. The wide blade is surprisingly heavy for its short build and it moves through stubble with quiet conviction. I’ve been spoiled by u/Whosgotthepudding edges for the last month, but even so, Roman’s factory edge felt quite good.

  Image

  I’m enjoying the stubby length. I’m always a bit at a loss what to do with the full length of western straights, so this feels right.

  Thanks @whosgotthepudding@sub.wetshaving.social and the gang of degenerates for making this happen!

  Слава Україні!

    The Degenerate Kamisori with that faux tortoise goes sooooo good with the Tabac setup!

  Great shave using this new-fangled gadget called a safety razor. Apparently, these take manufactured blades that you use and just dispose of after about 600 (@sgrdddy ) uses ;-)

  I was tired, and so I tried a mid-afternoon shave to wake me up. I nicked myself into the nostril, so probably that didn’t work out as expected.

  It’s been a while since I last used Entropy Man – it never really vibed for me, but this time I kind of got it.

  Greetings to the good people on zulip, and a nice day to everyone!
