  • Brush: Dogwood Handcrafts Tabak Oridjinal, now with 28 mm Gelousy knot
  • Razor: Thiers Issard 14 Médaille d’Or 1921 Exposition d’Algier Acier Spécial (7/8", extra hollow, square point, carbon steel)
  • Lather: Mäurer & Wirtz – Tabac Original
  • Post Shave: Mäurer & Wirtz – Tabac Original
  • Fragrance: Mäurer & Wirtz – Tabac Original

The penultimate Stankening of TabOKtoberfest 2024 was a nice one. The Médaille d’Or with the pitted surface is a smooth loud shaver that is a joy to use. I like its utilitarian design. There’s nothing opulent about it. No fancy gold, no flashy special point design, just a big square point hollow ground that shaves well.

I love the character in these old straights. The ornate etchings and gold watches used in the early 20th century is really special. Great pic, btw!

Lycanthropy has slowly become one of my favorite SW scents. It paired nicely with Confluence, and now I am out of my sample of the EdP. It might be time to restock soon.

Wednesday, October 30, 2024: Witchcraft Wednesday


A morning shave, everything well. Making progress on the kill – the omega of death has transformed into a C (or a U?) of death.

Have a good day!

I have several soaps with l’anneau de la mort and hope to convert them all to les croissants de la mort!

I can always count on @djundjila@sub.wetshaving.social to come up with a phrase that I can steal.

I love Rhapsody. Manages to be sweet and floral and rich without being heavy. Lovely really.

100%, it’s also fairly spicy to my nose.

I’m definitely glad to have some!
