    My first ring of death!

    Woah!

    And … how convenient that you have used a “14” on the 14th! I too have noticed this harmonic convergence, and plan to use two 14s today :)

    • djundjila@sub.wetshaving.social ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      You give me too much credit 😅 The auspicious convergence flew entirely under my radar.

      But as chance would have it, I’m going to use this 14 twice today😄

  It’s the 14th and that calls for using a Fili 14 (and a Frio 14). I am so fortunate to have found an excellent Gen 1 Fili 14. It shaves so well that I compare all my other straight razors to it.

  Desert Vetiver is awesome. Great shave today.

  • walden@sub.wetshaving.social ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I’ve been wanting to correct you for quite some time, so here it goes: isn’t it “Adagio”?

    source

    • MaplePoplar@sub.wetshaving.social ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Yes it’s spelled Adagio. Thank you! why wait so long? Don’t be shy. It’s been more than half a tub and I had no idea.

  Nov 14, 2023 - Talent Tuesday: Riviera

  • Brush: Zenith Cobalt Blue 28mm Boar Knot (505BC SE)
  • Razor: Chiseled Face Legacy (Aluminum)
  • Blade: Gillette Nacet [8]
  • Lather: Talent Soap Factory - Riviera - Soap (Vegan)
  • Post Shave: Gentleman’s Nod - Calabria - Aftershave
  • Fragrance: Noble Otter - Monarch - Eau de Parfum

  Image

  Returning to my first AA Raw Hoggin’ brush after a while of using badgers and synthetics was a really nice surprise. The knot has developed so well, it really has a better face feel than some of the badgers.

  Riviera is a beautiful scent built around neroli. Both it and Calabria have that care-free, Mediterranean coastal town vibe that I needed so desperately this morning. We’ve had nothing but rain for weeks now.

  Monarch layered on the neroli and orange notes with its unique powdery blend of scents.

  Rating: 4.5/5

  I was always worried about using up too much of my precious uNoBtAiNiUm Irisch Moos, but since u/J33pGuy13’s group buy I have a shiny backup stick: Das Moos ist los! Aaaand, I smell glorious.

  Difficult to beat a 14 and SIM shave! 😊

  SOTD 14.11.2023

  • Prep: head wash
  • Razor: GEM Micromatic Open Comb
  • Blade: GEM PTFE
  • Brush: AP Shave Co. 30 mm Tuxedo Fan w/ black & clear handle
  • Lather: Declaration Grooming - Unscented
  • Post Shave: Thayer’s Aloe Vera toner; Stirling Glacial Spearmint ASB

  The odd occurrence of wetshaving my head: a 2 pass shave, but only WTG. I had lots of stubbly hair to remove, but I still wanted to take care with the MMOC with a fresh blade.

  However, I really like shaving my head with SE razors. They seem to be very intuitive for the bumpy terrain IMHO and they’re often better suited simply by design (closed blade tabs, a certain foolproof cutting angle). Some blood was drawn due to my skin currently having breakouts almost as bad as during puberty; but no significant irritation otherwise.

  I really like rocking my bald look again as it gives me some much needed confidence back! Btw, I was able to negotiate a day of trial work for this Saturday. Early shift, but I sure hope it’ll be worth it!
