Sunday, June 2, 2024: Lazy Sunday

  • Preshave: Proraso Green Preshave
  • Brush: Zenith 506U XS Horse 🐎
  • Razor: Dovo Barbarossa Stainless
  • Lather: Le Père Lucien Narcisse
  • Postshave: Naissance 702 Witch Hazel
  • Postshave: Floid The Genuine
  • Postshave: Nivea After Shave Balm

I went back to the Barbarossa, and it showed me how much I had screwed up honing my three go-to straights with the natural stone. They will have to go back to the synthetics, for nice and easy shaves.

Have a good Sunday!

What do you think went wrong with the natural stone? I'm curious about that part of the rabbit hole.

I don't know - and that's the main issue 😭

I guess that at least part of the issue is that the natural stone is less wide than the synthetics. I'll hone them on the synthetics, and try the natural stone with the Chinese straight I ordered by mistake

Ugh, that sucks, sorry mate 😥

If you figure it out, I'd be grateful to hear the solution!
