Great shave today. Menthol strong enough to make my eyes water just a bit, perfect start to the day.
I’ve been wanting to correct you for quite some time, so here it goes: isn’t it “Adagio”?
Yes it’s spelled Adagio. Thank you! why wait so long? Don’t be shy. It’s been more than half a tub and I had no idea.
I sort of got a kick out of it every time I saw it, so maybe I shouldn’t have told you!

It finally happened! My first ring of death!
I thank my family, my agent, and my parents, this achievement would not have been possible without them.
Congrats! It is thus possible!
#Believe!
Wow, first one!
Yup, only took me 1174 SOTDs 😄
You must have more soaps than me!
If you are a reasonable person, that statement is likely true
My first ring of death!
Woah!
And … how convenient that you have used a “14” on the 14th! I too have noticed this harmonic convergence, and plan to use two 14s today :)
You give me too much credit 😅 The auspicious convergence flew entirely under my radar.
But as chance would have it, I’m going to use this 14 twice today😄
The auspicious convergence flew entirely under my radar.
I admit that I was looking for an excuse to use my 14s again.
My first ring of death!
😮 And with Tabac no less!
Felt good ☺️

It’s the 14th and that calls for using a Fili 14 (and a Frio 14). I am so fortunate to have found an excellent Gen 1 Fili 14. It shaves so well that I compare all my other straight razors to it.
Desert Vetiver is awesome. Great shave today.

Nov 14, 2023 - Talent Tuesday: Riviera
- Brush: Zenith Cobalt Blue 28mm Boar Knot (505BC SE)
- Razor: Chiseled Face Legacy (Aluminum)
- Blade: Gillette Nacet [8]
- Lather: Talent Soap Factory - Riviera - Soap (Vegan)
- Post Shave: Gentleman’s Nod - Calabria - Aftershave
- Fragrance: Noble Otter - Monarch - Eau de Parfum
Returning to my first AA Raw Hoggin’ brush after a while of using badgers and synthetics was a really nice surprise. The knot has developed so well, it really has a better face feel than some of the badgers.
Riviera is a beautiful scent built around neroli. Both it and Calabria have that care-free, Mediterranean coastal town vibe that I needed so desperately this morning. We’ve had nothing but rain for weeks now.
Monarch layered on the neroli and orange notes with its unique powdery blend of scents.

Didn’t cross my mind :)
I didn’t know that Osma was seasonal - TIL!
Osma is a gift, every day.

The odd occurrence of wetshaving my head: a 2 pass shave, but only WTG. I had lots of stubbly hair to remove, but I still wanted to take care with the MMOC with a fresh blade.
However, I really like shaving my head with SE razors. They seem to be very intuitive for the bumpy terrain IMHO and they’re often better suited simply by design (closed blade tabs, a certain foolproof cutting angle). Some blood was drawn due to my skin currently having breakouts almost as bad as during puberty; but no significant irritation otherwise.
I really like rocking my bald look again as it gives me some much needed confidence back! Btw, I was able to negotiate a day of trial work for this Saturday. Early shift, but I sure hope it’ll be worth it!

Difficult to beat a 14 and SIM shave! 😊
