Good shave today. Feeling a bit better and the weathers pretty reasonable. These blades are treating me very well. This scent is always top notch.

Monday, March 11, 2024: Haslinger Hétfő

An excellent shave today, even though I might have hydrated the lather slightly better. I have no clear idea how many shaves are still in this soap, but Haslinger Hétfő with this soap will come to an end before summer.

Have a good evening!

  • Brush: Simpsons Chubby 2 Jade 27mm HMW

  • Razor: Koraat 14-2.0 8/8" Full Hollow

  • Lather: Ariana & Evans - Peach & Cognac - Soap

  • Toner: Thayers - Lemon - Toner

  • Aftershave: Ariana & Evans - Peach & Cognac - Aftershave

  • Fragrance: Floris of London - Jermyn Street - Eau de Toilette

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

I always enjoy Peach & Cognac. Terrific scent IMO.

I find it fascinating that I now get much better 2-pass shaves with a straight razor than with an safety razor. This took a while to develop. Somewhere in my first hundred days I was able to get a BBS shave with a straight, and in the 100-day timeframe, I was able to maintain equal closeness and comfort between the two razor types. Somewhere around 400 straight razor shaves (I’m at 470 now) I noticed that a shave that was on autopilot with a straight is generally a little closer than a shave on autopilot with a safety razor. And my skin feels better after a straight shave than after a safety razor shave. This certainly makes using straights on weekdays something I look forward to.

Great shave today, and I look forward to using SBS later this month!

Woodshop is so dang good. Great soap base. Gotta love Summer Break Soaps.

This brush is one of my favorites. The handle is beautiful (sorry no picture) and nice to hold, and I put a Maggard Silvertip in it which I love.
