    • Prep: Hot Shower - Preshave
    • Brush: Semogue 610
    • Razor: Rex Envoy (10)
    • Blade: Rapira Platinum Lux
    • Lather: Catie’s Bubbles - Waterlyptus Soap
    • Post Shave: Catie’s Bubbles - Waterlyptus Splash

    Slept like shit last night so didn’t want to think too hard about the shave. Traded in the MOAR BOAR this morning for the teeny tiny boar that punches way above its minuscule size. Ended up being a damn fine shave to put me in a slightly better mood.

    I’m in desperate need of coffee and doing a whole lot of nothing today. Have a great day all!

    Jun 25, 2023 - Adagio

    • Brush: Stirling Soap Co. Green & Ivory 24mm Synthetic 2-Band Knot
    • Razor: Mühle Rocca R94
    • Blade: Gillette 7 O’Clock Super Stainless (Green) [19]
    • Lather: Barrister and Mann - Adagio - Soap
    • Post Shave: Spearhead Shaving Company - Seaforth! Sea Spice Lime - Toner

    Adagio is good, really good. It’s very much a warm weather scent. Cherry and lime make for a clean, fresh lather.

    The 7’OC-SS felt a little rough tonight, and I’ll probably bin it once I get home.

    Rating: 4/5

    • Razor: Gillette Ball-End Tech K4 (1965)

    The menthol in this balm, though light, should help with the heat outside today.

    • Brush: Wald Nimbus Chryselephantine 29mm A1 Fan
    • Razor: Wolfman Razors WR4/WRH2
    • Blade: Feather Artist Club ProGuard (4)

    • Post Shave: Thayers - Lavender - Toner
    • Post Shave: Summer Break Soaps - Valedictorian - Aftershave

    2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.

    This WR4 feels amazingly comfortable and BBS 2-pass shaves (without any cleanup) are effortless. This may just be the best safety razor I’ve used. I’m going to shave with the Vector tomorrow to see if I’m just fooling myself.

    • Lather: Proraso - Sandalwood - Cream

    Late post as I forgot I was going on a little trip this weekend. The Numbers’ joined another couple for a bit of day drinking at Lil Beaver Brewery yesterday afternoon, before heading to Arcadia and the Pinball Palace. Unknown to us at the time, MCLean, IL is a dry town. So that meant we had to travel to Atlanta, IL for more beers and some food last night, before returning and overnighting in one of the Hotel Arcadia spaces. It was a fun little trip.

    Going to stick with this tube of Proraso Red for the rest of the month. This tube was part of the April 2022 run, and it’s about finished, so I hope to kill it off this week.
