Brush: Dogwood Handcrafts Tabak Oridjinal, now with 28 mm Gelousy knot
Razor: Zwilling J. A. Henckels Friodur 14 (8/8", extra hollow ground, stainless steel)
Lather: Mäurer & Wirtz Tabac Original
Aftershave: Mäurer & Wirtz Tabac Original
Fragrance: Mäurer & Wirtz Tabac Original
Talc: Pinaud Clubman Finest Powder
The new Gelousy knot in my Stank Whisk® lathers super easily already (second use today). The loft on this thing is a bit high, though (about 57mm - 58mm) and the brush feels quite floppy as a result. I’ll have to decide whether it’s worth the effort to pull the knot and drill the hole deeper. I should just get it done immediately, but I’ll probably procrastinate and agonise over the decision for way too long 😅
Otherwise, this was a great shave. The big Frio 14 is a pleasure to use, and something about it’s heft or geometry makes this form factor feel very mild. It’s the quadrature of the tonsorial circle: cold efficiency and mild experience in seeming harmony.
Have a Stanky Tuesday (or not, if that’s not your proclivity)!
Top or Flop?

Yes, yes - the procrastination, I know it. 🫣😴🙂
The worst!
😅
You could always pull a B&B and put some elastic bands at the base of the knot.
True. I could 😮💨
This is the way
No - why procrastinate today, when you can procrastinate tomorrow?
You again with the good questions!
I have spoken.
