Razor: Zwilling J. A. Henckels Friodur 14 (8/8", extra hollow ground, stainless steel)
Lather: Stirling Soap Co. Coniferous
Aftershave: House of Mammoth Santal Noir
Fragrance: Spearhead Shaving Company Seaforth! Spiced
Talc: Pinaud Clubman Finest Powder
After a full week using a safety razor, the big 14 felt especially nice! Wintry/christmassy scents today to protest the early onset of spring around here. I’m not ready for chirping birds and budding flowers yet.
Surely it’s just a blip and it’ll be back to being snowy, right? We’ve had a couple of sunny days with highs in the 40’s (around 6°C maybe).
Speaking of which, we often refer to weather temps as “in the 30’s, 80’s, etc”. Do you guys reference ranges somehow? “Temperatures in the 5 to 9’s”. Doesn’t have the same ring to it.
If we are generalizing my circle of friends seem to talk about the temperature being in the high teens or low twenties and that sort of thing. Near zero we usually go with zero and add above or below in some way. I am in Canada.
Interesting. The higher resolution is one thing I like about Fahrenheit. I guess a perfect temperature scale would be 0 where water freezes, and 200 where water boils.

I hope it’s just a blip. I’m going skiing in two weeks and I hope for new snow all the way to below 2000 m 😅
No, it’s impossible to specify temperature ranges in Celsius 😊
(Also, “My milkshake brings all the boys to the metre” just sounds wrong, we should switch to the imperial system IMO)
