    The Nineteenth Day Of Weckoning is upon us

    • 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 (25)
    • Lather: Barrister and Mann – Oceana
    • Post Shave: Ralon – Original
    • Fragrance: Stirling Soap Co. – Island Man

    None of that slurry lather today for me. I took my time for a proper luxurious Soft Hearts lather and a full three-pass Weckoning.

    I think I’m starting to notice the blade turning the corner. It didn’t pull yet, but it’s losing efficiency: I see hairs that escape the first pass, and it’s not something I’ve noticed before.

    On a related note: Today, I looked at my hanging strop and I felt a pang in my heart. That’s what this hobby and AA are doing to me, I miss stropping 😂

      I used Soft Heart today. RIP, a great soap base. Good thing Omnibus is also very good.

        💯

        I seem to remember will mentioned that Omnibus is the result of him tweaking soft hearts to be firmer. I really like both very much

      I miss stropping

      I left my strop hanging during vacation, and I worried that the cat would play with it and ruin it. Fortunately, it seems intact 😌
