  • Prep: warm water
  • Razor: GEM Micromatic Flying Wing/Bullet Tip gold plated
  • Blade: GEM PTFE
  • Brush: AP Shave Co. 30 mm Tuxedo Fan w/ black & clear handle
  • Lather: Declaration Grooming - Unscented soap
  • Post Shave: Thayer’s Aloe Vera toner; Natura Siberica ASB gel
  • Fragrance: Bois 1920 - Oro Nero EdP sample

  A fast head shave done before today’s shift. Just one pass and done!

  The real star today was the fragrance sample. It was the second day of wearing it and it immediately reminded me of HAGS Aftermath - which in turn is a homage to Amouage Interlude Man, a great but expensive perfume. Maybe I’ll get a full-size one day.

  I almost forgot to post this shave, which celebrated another Black Watch Wednesday. Thoroughly enjoyable. I continue to maintain that the EdT is the chef’s kiss in this setup.

  This Koraat razor is a really a Koraat 14-2.0 that is scaled down to Koraat 13-2.0 size; a modern-day Filarmonica 13 Doble Temple. Unlike yesterday’s Red Imp, this razor has a Nakayama Maruka Jnat edge produced with my “September” process. I love the feel of this for both Jnat and synthetic edges. I need to see if I can bring a coticule edge to this level.

      Thanks! I’ve always loved the Gulf racing colors. A very unique color combination.

  Tabac… Wednesday?

  • Brush: Omega 50014 Travel Boar Shaving Brush, 21mm
  • Razor: Schick Repeating Razor Type B
  • Blade: Schick Vintage 20 Injector Magazine (7)
  • Lather: Mäurer & Wirtz Tabac Original (stick)
  • Aftershave: Sir Irisch Moos

  I forgot about Tabac Tuesday for the first time in over a year (with the obvious exceptions of the Lather Games, Austere August, Sample September, of course), which I take as a symptom of a successful transition to vacation brain ☃️🛷

  Turns out that Tabac smells and works just as well on Wednesdays.
