  Tart, then sweet, then oakmoss-musky this is a fun fougère ride (counting FdF as a Fougère h.c. again).

  The Dandy treats me great. I only bought it because I ran into a real-life brick-and-mortar shaving shop in the wild and felt finished to buy something, but I’m really happy I did. Serendipity++;

    That looks like a great curation of scents.

  Faena Friday. Terrific shave from this stainless steel razor that is considered inferior y some. I don’t think it’s the steel. This razor has an edge that is refreshed with my latest process. It’s as sharp and smooth as any of my carbon steel straights.

    from this stainless steel razor that is considered inferior by some.

    I always heard Friodurs mentioned as the one exception proving the rule that stainless steel razors are inferior. Even Brad Maggard, who basically only likes razors made before 1862 begrudgingly includes them on his must-have list.

    Either way, I’m yet to find try a bad stainless steel razor. Be it from Henckels, Ralf Aust, or Dovo, my experiences with stainless steel straights (shaving and honing) have been delightful so far

  • Lather: London Razors/Summer Break Soaps - Mountain Laurel - Soap
  • Post Shave: Spearhead - Seaforth! Heather - Toner
  • Post Shave: Bulldog - Original Moisturizer

  Early morning today so I actually shaved last night (but counted it as “today’s shave”).

  This keeps my streak going (I think) of daily shaves for almost 4 years.

  That counts, right? It does if you ask me!
