Absinthe is really a great scent, and I’m very happy to have tried it (and also the MdC base). Excellent shave.
Have a good night!

It was 34 degrees today in Paris, and this is starting to get into the area where life becomes uncomfortable. But we will get some storms tonight (which should hit soon), and it should get fresher. Anyways, I refreshed myself with Electric Sheep, which for me is a very nice summer soap.
Have a good night!

Since it is the day of honeysuckle, I chose to try Rose de Pushkar. The owner of Le Père Lucien claims it is his favorite scent (the fact that his wife developed it might be not unrelated), and it is one of his best selling ones. It is very rose-dominant – expectedly – and I like it, even though I don’t love it (yet). It is in the same line as Narcisse, so I expected the bases to be similar, but this one is much softer than Narcisse.
I heavily overloaded and could have shaved the cat with the remaining soap. It was always my dream to upgrade her to a sphinx cat, but my wife for some reason doesn’t like them, even though they are clearly and objectively the best breed of cats.
Have a good night!

Duodi 22 Prairial an 233 de la Révolution, jour de Camomille

- Lather: Zingari Man The Watchman
- Postshave: Naissance 702 Witch Hazel
- Postshave: Zingari Man Bon Monsieur Recovery Splash
- Postshave: Nivea After Shave Balm
This is the first shave with this new (to me) Le Grelot razor, which I got for a reasonable price off the bay. Very nice blond horn scales, and the same 7/8th razor shape as my Coq et Renard. Since @djundjila@sub.wetshaving.social will ask, here are the pics:
The scales look really nice, and the guillochage is also very good. But it is time for GRUYE now. The shave itself went very well – always a pleasure to use a good Thiers Issard.
Have a good evening!

There are sophisticated scents, and then, there are straightforward ones. Electric Sheep is straightforward, but that doesn’t mean that it wouldn’t be good.
The Zenith boar has been losing 5+ bristles the last 2 times I used it. I hope it is not entering terminal knot failure mode.
Have a good evening!

Two days without shaving, and I was getting scruffy, and felt dirty. Absinthe always gives me a very slick and nice lather.
Have a good day!

You use the Osma shaving soap as aftershave?
And how do you like the KEPKINH soap?

But on the upside, I didn’t need to use that glass scraper, so I know what I can use next year for this challenge.
And you should definitely retire from competition for the year after that 😱

I found a Bismarck for a price that seemed very fair to me, and I went for it. I tested the edge it came with, and it sliced the packing peanut without any issues. So I went for it as is. First impressions: very nice razor, good edge, very maneuverable. Looking forward to another shave with it.
Have a good day!

Although it is a beautiful razor, on behalf of all tankies on lemmy, I have to object: obviously, Marx was the leader.
