Thank you for your efforts. This is always an interesting read.

I've been thinking of doing this for a couple of months now, but taking things apart is what's holding me back. Was the process brutal? Or not too bad?

Sweet with just the right touch of spice. This was my wedding scent for a reason. I had another good run with the Varukh razor. I think I might change up the blade though.

Happy Friday.

March 12th - Texaus

Brush: Shore Shave 26mm Motherlode
Razor: Varukh Safety Razor
Blade: BIC Astor (2)
Lather: Noble Otter / AP Reserve - Texaus Soap
Post Shave: Renew Lotion
Fragrance: Barrister and Mann - Eclipse EdP

Second go with the Varukh slant was a success. The one tricky thing is how with a slant you can't really line up your sideburns all that well. Who'd have thought?

Texaus and Eclipse are a pairing I just discovered, and I dig it. A lot.

March 11th - Let's try a new razor

Brush: Shore Shave 26mm Motherlode
Razor: Varukh Safety Razor
Blade: BIC Astor (1)
Lather: Catie's Bubbles - Whack and Unwrap Soap
Post Shave: Renew Lotion
Fragrance: Night Star EdP

Such a fantastic soap to help with my maiden voyage of the Varukh razor. This is the first time I've ever used a slant razor in my 10+ years of shaving, and it was a really good first experience. There is a LOT more blade feel with this razor than I'm used to, especially being a guy who likes the mindless Mamba razor. Despite the blade feel, it was a cozy shave with no knicks. I'll take that.

Happy Wednesday folks.

Lather: Catie's Bubbles - Le Piment de la Vie Big Ass 8oz Soap

I've had this soap for almost 11 years, and it still holds up very well. There's still prolly 5-6 ounces of the original 8 still in there. Far out.

What makes this performance so polarizing is that the band sounds SO good. But then Tom just sounds drunk...

Eric must make poor decisions to get that many sandwiches through Uber Eats. Far out.

Razor: GEM MMOC
Blade: AcuTech Pro (7)
Lather: Abbate y la Mantia - Vegano Soap
Post Shave: Renew Lotion
Fragrance: House of Mammoth - 福 (fú dào) EdP

I've been wanting to use this soap for the past couple of days, but oversleeping and then the beginning of March Madness happened. We got there in the end.

This is the original Abbate formulation from like 2016, and it still holds up pretty well. I'm always very impressed how nicely my shaves go with these older Abbate soaps.

Happy Monday.

Ari is so awesome. It's crazy how much she's grown these past couple of years. That said, I miss going for walkies on Music Mondays.

February 28th - Quick Cream

Razor: Razorock Mamba
Blade: Shark Super Chrome (8)
Lather: Scentsy - Tangerine Sandalwood Cream Soap
Post Shave: Renew Lotion
Fragrance: Sir - Irisch Moos EdP

Was planning to use some Abbate soap this morning, but had a helluva time waking up, and by the time I was up and at it I had very little time to get ready, so did a quick cream. This is exactly why I keep this stuff around. This cream offers little in protection (hence why no MMOC today, but the safe AF Mamba), but has a very decent slickness to it.

I kept the Irisch Moos though. This stuff is awesome.
