Saponificio Varesino - Tundra Artica
The name derives from the geographical area called Arctic Tundra, where the vegetable additives used in this soap find their natural habitat: the Icelandic lichen (soothing, purifying, antibacterial, calming) and the cranberry (suitable for sensitive skin, soothing and toning, gives freshness and vitality)
Fragrance: to recall the atmosphere of the Arctic Tundra, we chose the scent of Agar Wood (oud) but harmonized to give the sensation of open and fresh spaces, with a markedly woody perception

It’s been a long time since I last used a GEM razor – and it was slightly harsher as what I am used to with a straight. But it was a good and close shave.
Have a good Zingari Zischtig!

Forgot to post this yesterday – my bad. I’m still trying to explore what Tabac AS doesn’t fit with. Both Narcisse and Tabac are floral, but there is not much lingering of the scent anymore once the after shave has been applied.

The Puma has a very satisfying buttery toast sound, and it is easy to move around. However, I should probably put it back on the stones, since it is not the smoothest. And finally, I managed not to mow down the moustache! Not sure that I will let it grow throughout November.
Have a good night!

Quintidi 5 Brumaire an 234 de la Révolution, jour d’Oie: Austrian National Holiday
- Brush: Semogue C3 Galahad Horse 🐎
- Razor: Koraat 14.2 Straight Razor
- Lather: Le Père Lucien Rose de Pushkar
- Postshave: Naissance 702 Witch Hazel
- Postshave: Epsilon Blue Mediterranean
- Postshave: Nivea After Shave Balm
Today is the Austrian National Holiday (also knows as: Day of the Flag), and I tried to come up with as much Austrian gear as I could. Unfortunately, I have no Haslinger soap here, so I only had the Koraat razor (I could also have taken the GreenCult, but nothing else). Rose de Pushkar because: why not; a horse brush because Lippizaner.
I was toying with the idea of @DaveWave94@sub.wetshaving.social to give a moustache a go, but before I had decided on any firm course of action, I had shaved the area – which resolves the issue.
Have a good day!

Auch ein Messer “nicht zugriffsbereit” von einem Ort zum anderen zu befördern, ist als Ausnahme von der Regel erlaubt - wie beispielsweise ein gerade in einem Laden gekauftes und noch verpacktes Messer. In der Verordnung heißt es: “Ein Messer ist nicht zugriffsbereit, wenn es nur mit mehr als drei Handgriffen erreicht werden kann.”
I didn’t find the actual law, but I think you should be safe if yon wrap it well. There seem to be several common sense exceptions, so I wouldn’t worry too much about this.

I wondered whether I would do a Zingari Zischtig, but then I went for Tundra Artica. The Friodur felt very sharp and good on the first pass, but it is quite light, and it didn’t feel the best ATG.
Have a good evening!

First, a confession: I shaved during what was technically still Tuesday, though it was late, so Wednesday-ish.
Then: this one is a keeper. I really enjoyed the scent, and the lather was also very good for a first try. I don’t believe I ever used a soap from Chicago Grooming Co. before, but I clearly see myself using this again – the smush is generous, and there is at least a second shave in there.

I decided to shave to wake me a bit up. Bad choice. I cut myself – I had honed my Parker razor yesterday, and my La Lune stone had received our cat’s abundant blessing. But the razor is plenty sharp.
This was the first use of Tundra Artica – or any Saponificio Varesino soap. I overloaded, but the experience was overall very good. I like the scent, and the lather was good.
Have a good day!

I see - but the edge on the kami seems to start at least a cm further away from the pivot - which is probably better

Now that the Barbarasso has gone to vacations in Switzerland, I felt that I should try something a bit rarer. The Koraat felt much sharper than my usual razors – I guess it is time I honed them again 😅
Uneventful shave, and Tabac as an aftershave after Absinthe is not as strange as it may sound at first sight.

I need to improve my heap of samples I have from the BVWSC. I had a sample flying around, which was closest to a paper with Ethos Grooming Essentials. I killed the sample, and I had slight fragburn. Was it Dragonsbeard? Who knows!
Have a good evening!
