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!

A good shave, with the always nice Arcadia. Especially with the cooler weather, this is a scent I appreciate.

Midday shave here. I’m feeling a slight burn on my face after this shave – hope it is not the soap!
Have a good day!

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.
Have a good day!

I met @djundjila@wetshaving.social yesterday, and we had dinner together.
Unfortunately, I forgot to ask him about the hone experiment, so I fear we will never know.

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!

I was tired, and so I tried a mid-afternoon shave to wake me up. I nicked myself into the nostril, so probably that didn’t work out as expected.
It’s been a while since I last used Entropy Man – it never really vibed for me, but this time I kind of got it.
Greetings to the good people on zulip, and a nice day to everyone!

I learn today that yesterday was the first day of the year 234 – so happy new year to everyone! The combination of Watchman with Bon Monsieur is slightly strange: a rather mysterious scent followed by a very inoffensive bright citrussy scent – but it grows on me.
Anyways, have a good night!
