Share your shave of the day!
Dec. 14, 2023
- Brush: Yaqi 26mm Synthetic
- Razor: Karve Overlander
- Blade: Tatara
- Lather: Chiseled Face - Vert Noir - Soap
- Post Shave: Chiseled Face - Vert Noir - Aftershave
Good shave. This scent is still very out there for me but I like it more today. The aftershave seems to have way more noir than vert off the start but dries down and smells ok. It has almost a camp fire type scent at times reminds me of those black crackle cigarettes.

Micromatic 5/7: KILL Vespers
Image
Best I can do to be on theme is kill a sample. I enjoy the comforting scent of Vespers every time I use it. But since I’ve instituted my one-tub-out-for-one-tub-in policy, I’ve killed a grand total of zero tubs, and it takes all my restraint not to go buy a set of Vespers.
I’m using a Flying Wing/Bullet Tip today, the fifth and final generation of the Micromatic line of GEM razors, and probably the prettiest vintage safety razor with the possible exception of the Streamline. This razor is a tad milder than the MMOC and Clog-Pruf, but still plenty efficient.

Your “theme” comment reminded me that I completely forgot about Theme Thursday over at reddit. It’s been a while. I do kinda miss the community over there and I’m thinking of going back.

I do both, personally. I hate Reddit, but not the community. The community here is still tiny, but I like interacting with everyone here, too.

Listen… I’m not here to help – You need a set of Vespers. If someone made me have only 5 soaps, Vespers would be on the list.

That high on the list, huh? You’re he’s l really not helping 😅

This was my policy for the past year. It only proved to me that I have no discipline. My soap collection continues to grow.

I’m also struggling in that department😅. Just today, I got an unsanctioned tub of Stirling’s new Baccarat Rouge dupe soap🤫
