  • Brush: Yaqi 26mm Synthetic
  • Razor: Karve Overlander
  • Blade: Pro Edge Platinum
  • Lather: Chiseled Face - Vert Noir - Soap
  • Post Shave: Chiseled Face - Vert Noir - Aftershave

Great shave. This scent is still a bit off putting but it has grown on me. The initial surprise mellows out pretty quick and it gets more pleasant.

Old Year, Old Me

  • Brush: Omega 50014 Travel Boar Shaving Brush, 21mm
  • Razor: Schick Repeating Razor Type B
  • Blade: Personna Injector (1)
  • Lather: Mäurer & Wirtz Tabac Original (stick)
  • Aftershave: Sir Irisch Moos

To be fully on theme, I should have used Tabac in the jar, but this is close enough. With the #TabacTuesdays and #TabOktoberfest, this is my most used soap scent of 2023. I never thought of it as my favourite, but by Onion's definition, it is.

Impatience got the better of me and I binned the vintage Schick blade after 7 uses. I was just itching to use the repeater mechanism with its satisfying clack-clack sound, loading a new blade, ejecting the old.

    2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


I intended to shave this morning but had to skip that and get in an afternoon shave. I was thinking about my afternoon schedule but KoO and this Parker razor are so good I was forced to pay attention to how great this shave was.

  • Prep: warm water
  • Razor: Stando Perun
  • Blade: BIC Chrome Platinum
  • Brush: TGS Galaxy 26 mm
  • Lather: Declaration Grooming - Cuir et Epices
  • Post Shave: Thayer's Aloe Vera toner; Natura Siberica ASB gel
  • Fragrance: Tom Ford - Ombre Leather EdP

Almost forgot to log this shave in all the trouble...

1-pass head shave, very comfortable and warm scents all around. No nicks or any irritation whatsoever. I needed some comfort scents to keep my feelings somehow balanced...

Today I had my final late shift at the old nursing home. It was a very emotional day for me... For 5 years, this was my place of work. First as an OT, now during the retraining to become an RN. I had a lot of good times there, but lately a lot has turned to shit so quitting is the right thing to do. I will miss my favourite colleagues very much; but at least I will keep them as friends and remember the good things we had together.

  • Brush: Stirling Soap Co. Green & Ivory 24mm Synthetic 2-Band Knot
  • Razor: Aylsworth Razors Drakkant Plus
  • Blade: Gillette Platinum [18]
  • Lather: Stirling Soap Co. - Weekend in Malibu - Soap
  • Post Shave: Southern Witchcrafts - Incorporeal - Aftershave (Alcohol Free)

I don't think that I've gone this long without shaving since I started shaving traditionally. The Aylsworth took care of four days of growth like it was nothing.

Rating: 4/5

four days of growth

Yeah, I've missed one day in the last 2½ years. Feels weird to have that much growth, but I bet that was a really close shave.

four days of growth

Last time I did this was as a participant in the 2021 Atlas Shaves Challenge. I didn't enjoy it😅

[-] sahenders@sub.wetshaving.social 2 points 10 months ago

This is why I avoid Atlas Shaves 😆

[-] djundjila@sub.wetshaving.social 1 points 10 months ago

Yeah, I hear you😅

A lesson was learned that year

  • Brush: Stirling 24mm Synthetic
  • Razor: Muhle R89
  • Blade: V12 Super Platinum (2)
  • Lather: Stirling Soap Co. - Ozark Mountain - Soap
  • Post Shave: Spearhead - Seaforth! Heather - Toner
[-] djundjila@sub.wetshaving.social 3 points 10 months ago

Ozark Mountain++;
Heather ++;

Really nice combo. Might steal it soon.

[-] walden@sub.wetshaving.social 3 points 10 months ago

Heather is my new "travel post shave", at least until I get tired of it... so you'll likely see it paired with just about anything 🫠. It'll stay in my suitcase, while soaps get rotated out.

[-] djundjila@sub.wetshaving.social 3 points 10 months ago

I see! I'll keep my eyes peeled for intriguing combinations
