    The Penultimate 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 (36)
    • Lather: Barrister and Mann – Oceana
    • Post Shave: Ralon – Original
    • Fragrance: Stirling Soap Co. – Island Man

    Very nice shave this morning. I was comfortable already with the Weck and this ultra-high backbone brush before AA, but there’s something special about using a setup repeatedly for a month. This was my 301st shave with an open blade since opening this can of worms by borrowing u/VisceralWatch’s Feather AC shavette for Lather Games 2022, and my 55th shave with this particular Weck, but now, for lack of a better term, I feel expertise in every move. The same goes for this brush (80th use today). I just know I’ll have a great lather and a great shave before I even start.

    All that being said, I’m chomping at the bit take my new-to-me Fili 14 for a spin through my sample pile (Mount Smushmore) next month.

    I’m still a bit overwhelmed by yesterday’s surprise gift and feeling blessed 😊️
