Share your Shave of the Day for Tuesday!
Fantastic shave. These GEM DE blades work really nicely, very smooth and comfortable.
To celebrate my newly arrived Celebrated, I went with a fully British setup. This chonky razor came actually shave ready from eBay – a first for me, and it’s a very pleasant razor. Silent like a wedge, very smooth, and look how pretty it is 🤩

Always such a nice post shave feel with The Fat.

That hasn’t happened for me.

Oh yes. I heard about the tallow formulation’s demise too late to get a backup puck, so once this is gone, it’s really good
Indoctrination status: [OOo.]
I had a really nice shave today with Gunpowder Spice from The Holy Black. It had a medium strength scent throughout, Old Spicey with puffs of black powder. Ghost Town Barber aftershave makes an interesting combination with it. The lather was slick and provided decent protection. The alum gave me an “A.”
Today’s satchel also had Barrister & Mann The Four Horsemen Plague aftershave and War shaving soap. I think I’ll keep these to conclude a future Midnight Stag run.
Merry Christmas Eve Eve!

Very nice shave, though a bit rushed. We’ve had people here working on the heat since this morning, but luckily enough hot water for showers in between it being broken.

Terrible time of year to have the heat go out! Murphy’s Law, of course.

It didn’t get too chilly inside, luckily. It was only in the 30’s (F) today.
The heat is back on, by the way! The burner is less than 2 months old, and they replaced the (pardon me for probably getting some of these parts wrong) igniters, nozzle, primary coil, and CAD cell (flame detector). Just threw a bunch of parts at it until it worked (a valid method of repair, sometimes!).
I’m glad we have a service contract which is about $400 a year – we got our money’s worth with the old system, and again it’s proving to be worth it with a brand new system.
