    The Eightteenth Day Of Weckoning is upon us - A 5 minute Wecking

    • Brush: Rubberset 400-3 with a 26 mm unbleached Zenith boar knot at 56 mm loft
    • Razor: Weck Sextoblade Med Prep
    • Blade: Kismet Rostfrei, Polymer beschichtet (24)
    • Lather: Barrister and Mann – Oceana
    • Post Shave: Ralon – Original
    • Fragrance: Tom Ford – Tobacco Vanille

    Nice three-pass shave today. Today’s our wedding anniversary so I switched up the frag (after checking with the #Monthofweckoning rules, which only regulate razor, blade, brush, lather, and post shave, but not frags).

    We’re in the beginning days of a heat dome in central Europe, and Switzerland is sitting right in the middle of it. Usually, the thick stone walls of our 1902 building (over 1 m of masonry) keep the heat out for a few hot days, but today we have 27°C in the home office already at 08:00, so the next few days will be unpleasant 🥵☀🌡

      I imagine even once it cools off there’s going to be a lot of latent heat in those walls.

        Oh yeah, it takes days. I don’t know why, but my building is built like a medieval castle :)

        They changed our central heating system last fall, and of course the new system failed at some point in January and heat was off for almost a full day. The outside temperatures were below freezing, but inside, it stayed just fine.

      I can’t exactly feel your pain. Here in Maryland it has been 32°C with 80% or above humidity for a while. Today our temp is a very comfortable 27°C with 48% humidity. I actually feel like spending the afternoon outside for a change.

      5 minute Wecking++;

      Congrats on your wedding anniversary!

        Ouch, I didn’t know that about Paris😔

        Yeah, the future of climate change scares me
