  • Blade: Personna Lab Blue (10)
  • Lather: Barrister & Mann - Petrichor - Soap
  • Post Shave: Barrister & Mann - Reserve Fern - Aftershave

Back to a DE after about a week of GEM shaves. Very nice. I'm hitting this Petrichor hard, and I'll probably kill it in the next week or two.

1 pass. Face lather. Good shave.


I had to rush today and only had time for a 1-pass shave. I haven't done one of these in a very long time. Not bad actually.

  • Brush: Zenith 506B MB (27 mm × 55 mm Manchurian badger)
  • Razor: Fatip - Lo Storto - Testa Dentata
  • Blade: Derby Extra
  • Lather: Barrister and Mann – Oceana (Soft Heart)
  • Post Shave: Ralon – Sport
  • Fragrance: Stirling Soap Co. – Island Man

Growing that ring of death is very satisfying. I'm tempted to use this soap for AA, but I'm afraid it might die on me prematurely. #AustereAugustProblems

Milksteak Monday: Delta-V

  • Brush: Declaration Grooming Know It All 28mm B14 Badger Knot

  • Lather: Declaration Grooming - Delta-V - Soap
  • Post Shave: Declaration Grooming - Delta-V - Aftershave

I used two sweet pear and tea scents today. While Delta-V had my head above the clouds, Musashi brought me back to earth.
