Share your shave of the day!

Uh… joke, social experiment, malfunctioning bot: You decide!

Personally I’ve never tried shaving twice in one day… no, that’s not true, but I’ve never tried it twice-twice so I guess the first one has always been the best.

Okay, I’m picking up what you’re putting down now. That looks very enjoyable :-)

  • Razor: Karve Overlander
  • Blade: UK Tech Statum [1]
  • Lather: 345 - RKY MTN Tree Line - Soap
  • Post Shave: 345 - RKY MTN Tree Line - Aftershave

Good shave. Lots of snow to shovel today. These blades seem to be good I’ve had a number of good shaves with them in the past and today is no different.

A good shave, and I wonder how many shaves are still in this soap. I guess around five, and I saw no real difference before and after today.

Have a good night!

Do you like the Barbarossa now?

I don’t know - it’s a razor I feel safe with. It’s still a bit uncomfortable to handle, and the blade could be longer, but it’s not too bad. I clearly prefer it to my Soviet straight.

Oh, I don’t think I’ve seen your Soviet razor, I’m intrigued now 🙂

The Barbarossa is an interesting animal. Just feels like it should be a good idea, IMO

Mar 4, 2024 - Macduffs Monday: Birth of the Cool

  • Brush: The Razor Company Cream Soda Acrylic 28mm Synthentic Knot
  • Razor: EldrormR Industries MM24 #MMarch24
  • Blade: Personna GEM PTFE [4]
  • Lather: MacDuffs Soap Company/Pastuer Shaving - Birth of the Cool - Soap
  • Post Shave: Wholly Kaw - Entropy Man - Aftershave
  • Fragrance: Maison Martin Margiela - Jazz Club - Eau de Parfum

Macduffs’ base, once properly hydrated, produces a silky, smooth lather with a beautiful, glossy sheen.

Birth of the Cool is a scent I keep coming back to. It’s partly inspired by Jazz Club, but IMO, with some of the rough edges smoothed out. Entropy Man overpowered BotC initially, but as it dried down, they worked really well together.

Rating: 4.5/5
