Friday, February 23, 2024: Late Night Friday Shave

I broke my rule tonight of not using a straight after 22:00 – but the Barbarossa is so small and cute, that normal straight rules don’t apply. Hybris leads to punishment? Not tonight. Everything went smoothly, and no blood was shed.

Ishtar was the obvious choice for tonight, after learning some cuneiform signs.

Have a good night!

  • Brush: Stirling Soap Co. Zenith Boar Brush 31mm × 50mm
  • Razor: Zwilling J. A. Henckels Friodur 14 (8/8", extra hollow ground, stainless steel)
  • Lather: Stirling Soap Co. Varen
  • Aftershave: Mühle Aloe Vera Rasurlotion

The big Frio 14 is just a wonderful razor. I’m enjoying many of my straights, but there’s something about this one that they just can’t replicate. It’s maybe the combination of heft and extra fine grind that gives this feeling of gentle control.

The splash was my go to post shave in my early days in this hobby, and it felt good using it again.

  • Brush: Brad Sears Scotsman XL 28mm Super Badger

  • Razor: Koraat 6/8" Full Hollow

  • Lather: Wholly Kaw - King of Oud - Soap

  • Toner: Thayers - Lemon - Toner

  • Aftershave: Wholly Kaw - King of Oud - Aftershave

  • Talc: Yardley Classic
     
    2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.

Having had a night of almost no sleep, I wasn’t in the mood for a shave this morning. I was considering going without a shave, in fact, but afternoon rolled around and I started feeling in the mood for oud. King of Oud is an oldy but a goody for Wholly Kaw. I think it’s a great scent, and for me, every soap base WK has is extraordinary.

Absolutely! This is an early handle before he started using coins. I have a newer handle from him that I need to find the right knot for.
