        Technically it’s just a R41 head on the handle of my R89. If you were to buy it new though, it’s listed as the MUH-R41BLACK.

        Which version do you have?

    Friday, July 19, 2024: Hawt!


    It’s hot today, and I am melting in my chair. My attempt at refreshing myself by shaving has been largely unsuccessful – my face is cool, but the rest of my body continues to be sweaty and hot. The shower calls!

    Have a good day!

      My attempt at refreshing myself by shaving has been largely unsuccessful

      I think this might only work for head shavers like me. The mentholated soap (or WS-23/Koolada) needs a bigger surface area of your body like the scalp to actually achieve a broader refreshment. Ofc there’s also body shaving, but I guess anything but lightly mentholated soap shouldn’t go there for… comfort reasons.

        My wife would object to a dome shave - and menthod makes me think more of my grandma & Klosterfrau Melissengeist than refreshment…

          Oh no, if you’re not a member of the extremely receding hairline & balding club like I am, you definitely don’t need to shave your dome.
          Menthol works good in some soaps though - Moon Soaps Union is one of the nicest examples and really goes easy with the menthol. You don’t have to start out with CF Cryogen (unless you’re really up for an extreme challenge).

    • Brush: Dogwood Handcrafts with Declaration Grooming B10

    • Razor: Dovo Bismarck 6/8" Full Hollow Round Point

    • Lather: PannaCrema - Nuàvia Verde - Soap

    • Toner: Thayers - Rose - Toner

    • Aftershave: PannaCrema - Nuàvia Verde - Balm

    • Fragrance: Floris of London - Jermyn Street - Eau de Toilette

    • Talc: Yardley Gold
       
      2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


    Oh Baby! Wow! What a shave! First, the freshness and greenness of the Nuàvia Verde scent always brightens my day, and that scent was complemented by the refreshed edge on this Dovo.

    For the refresh, I started the edge on my Nakayama Jnat but finished it with nagura slurry on my Black Arkansas. This is a completely new progression for me and I did not know what to expect, but I thoroughly enjoyed the sharpening experience. I was quite surprised at the uniqueness of the edge-feel. Naturally, I made a video.

    Shiriode

    • Brush: Boti Motherlode knot in laminated wooden handle
    • Razor: Zwilling J. A. Henckels Friodur 72-V (13/16", quarter hollow or near wedge, stainless steel)
    • Lather: House of Mammoth – Shire
    • Post Shave: House of Mammoth – Shire 2

    Despite what my autocorrect tries to tell me, the soap is not actually “Shite”.

    Joining u/EldrormR for a ShireFriodurMotherlode shave. This is a fantastic setup and feels a bit like shaving with a cheat code. Gentle lather monster, great soap base, silky smooth blade.

    I’m happy to see that the straights are treating Eld well!
