  In yesterday’s shave, the newly refreshed edge of the Bismarck had been a wonderful surprise, so I decided to change nothing about this setup. And, it wasn’t a fluke, this razor’s edge is now as smooth and sharp as anyone could wish for.

  Great Stank ® shave this morning

  Settantisemo Straightember 32 for me and another refreshed edge. I went back to the Nakayama Maruka Shouhonyama for this one. I’ve been using the factory Koraat edge on this razor since I received it, and this is actually the first time I’ve sharpened any Koraat.

  The resulting shave was superbe (French spelling and pronunciation). My Koraat 6/8 is custom, but I worked with Ulrik to create a Koraat 13-2.0 – a V2.0 of the Filarmónica 13 Doble Temple. This razor shaves as good as it looks.

  October 2, 2023: If you want peace

  • Preshave: Water -> Face
  • Brush: Yaqi Aqua 24mm Synthetic
  • Razor: Greencult GC 2.0 II
  • Blade: Astra Superior Platinum (31)
  • Lather: Barrister & Mann War
  • Post Shave: Floid The Genuine

  * Post Shave: Nivea After Shave Balm
  I was feeling daring today, so War it was. Expectations were low, but easily surpassed. My first contact was rough, but today I had the impression that I could use it for a month without being disgusted with myself or the world. Not that I did enjoy it, but it wasn’t that bad. We’ll see how Mrs. Porkbutts will react.

  Have a good day!

  PS: I could have used a straight, but I didn’t want it to be touched by war - maybe next time.

  • Blade: Lord Super Chrome (3)
  • Lather: Stirling – Sharp Dressed Man - Shave Soap

  First shave of October. I had planned on using a “darker” scent to welcome the month, but it’s oddly warm and sunny today, so this felt more appropriate.

  SOTD 02.10.2023

  • Prep: warm water
  • Razor: Ever-Ready 1912
  • Blade: Personna GEM PTFE
  • Brush: AP Shave Co. Snakeskin w/ 26 mm Silksmoke Flattop/Fan hybrid
  • Lather: Southern Witchcrafts - Samhain
  • Post Shave: Southern Witchcrafts - Samhain AS

  Despite the warm weather, I wanted to welcome my favourite month and season with a wonderful autumn/fall scent - what’s better suited than Samhain?!

  Samhain is surely one of my absolute favourite scents ever in wetshaving. I don’t know what exactly draws me into it, but the combo is certainly unique. Also, it was one of my first ever high-class artisan soaps so it also holds sentimental value to me.

  2 pass shave with the great Ever-Ready today, much more pleasant than yesterday’s SOTD. Only 3 tiny weepers around the moustache area.

  Otherwise, a pretty chill day. Had the day off, will start in the late shift again tomorrow. Time for a horror film now!
