- Prep: hot shower
- Brush: Yaqi Cashmere Synthetic Shaving Brush, Dandelion Green Handle, 24mm
- Razor: Edwin Jagger DE 89L
- Blade: Lord Super Chrome (3)
- Lather: Stirling – Sharp Dressed Man - Shave Soap
- Post Shave: Stirling – Post Shave Balm – Sharp Dressed Man
Man, I’ve been suffering through all week with the Jagger. Lately I’ve been taking all the blades I own in bulk and systematically going through them one at a time, using them in each razor I own. Right now I can’t tell if the Jagger + Lord Super Chrome is just a bad combo for me, or if it’s that I haven’t used the Jagger in a while and it’s taking me a while to readjust. I could have sworn this blade used to work well for me with this razor, but so far this week it has decidedly not.
Rosy Friday Morning
- Brush: Dogclaration LG 2022 Mystery Brush (B16)
- Razor: Zwilling J. A. Henckels Friodur Unnumbered 8/8" ( hollow ground, stainless steel, round point)
- Lather: Geo.F. Trumper Rose
- Aftershave: Mäurer und Wirtz Tabac Wild Ride
- Fragrance: Mäurer und Wirtz Tabac Man Gravity
I bought this cream during a London trip last spring, and I really enjoy the simple rose scent. The cream is also stupid simple to lather. Great shave with the big Frio 8/8.
Gravity is more earthy and spicy and the transition from the simple rose to it is a nice progression.
Gravity is great, but I struggle to wrap my head around Wild Ride. What do you think of it?
I’m not a fan, it’s a bit of a bland fresh fragrance. Definitely not "wild"😅. It’s pleasant enough, nothing special
I called it “mild ride” before.
