    Day 13/31 of Looking for Serenity in Austerity

    • Brush: Semogue Owner’s Club (cherry wood and boar) (13)
    • Razor: Zwilling J. A. Henckels Friodur 50 (7/8", hollow ground, stainless steel, masonic deco) (11)
    • Lather: Spearhead Shaving Company – Seaforth! Roman Spice
    • Post Shave: Spearhead Shaving Company – Seaforth! Roman Spice
    • Fragrance: Spearhead Shaving Company – Seaforth! Roman Spice

    I’m solidly back on the morning shave routine train and that feels good. I was almost expecting that, after yesterday’s ultra-smooth Friodur 17 Second Luxury Shave™, this 50 would feel rough by comparison, but this edge and razor still feel smooth and pleasant. It just feels lighter, less deliberate, less substantial.

    Nose blindness is setting in and the scent of Roman Spice starts to escape me while lathering and shaving. I still get the splash and the frag, so that’s good, but I’m getting tempted to go more than my usual 2 spritzes, which is probably not the best idea for a day at the office.

    Oh, and the brush is winning me over.

      I gave a lot of consideration to using Roman Spice for AA, but I go nose blind to it almost immediately. I get hints of the fragrance, though, after everything settles down.

        Yeah, it’s easy to get nose blind to RS, it seems

      If my memory serves me well, your brush is still nowhere near being broken in. It may suck less, but it hasn’t revealed its final form.

        That sounds right. Its tips haven’t started splitting yet
