Wednesday, January 3, 2024 - 1st shave of the year

  • Prep: hot shower
  • Brush: Simpson Chubby 2 Synthetic Fibre Shaving Brush, 27mm
  • Razor: WCS Classic Collection Razor 84S, Stainless Steel, Closed Comb
  • Blade: Gillette Silver Blue (3)
  • Lather: Barrister & Mann - Leviathan - Shaving Soap
  • Post Shave: Barrister & Mann - Leviathan - Aftershave Balm

First shave of the new year (I’ve been sick and haven’t felt up to it), and unfortunately it didn’t go well. It felt like it was going well throughout the shave, but I somehow ended up with a few small cuts on my neck. This razor is more aggressive than what I usually use, so I guess it’s not that surprising, but still unexpected.

  • Brush: Maggard 24mm Tuxedo Synthetic
  • Razor: GEM Pushbutton
  • Blade: Personna GEM PTFE (2)
  • Lather: Abbate y La Mantia - Garibaldi - Soap
  • Post Shave: Brut - Splash On
  • Post Shave: House of Mammoth/Declaration Grooming - Cerberus - Liniment

A nice lather from Garibaldi. Yet another soap base that benefits from a heavy-ish load. Coconut is high in the ingredients list, but you’d never know it from the lather. The scent seems light, but it sticks. Even after using Brut and Cerberus, I still get whiffs of the soap. I normally never get whiffs of soap after rinsing it off.
