This time around, I didn’t mind the floppiness of the knot as much and I got a truly stellar lather 🤔 This loft is getting another chance.

• Razor: Karve Overlander

Nice shave. Good shot of warm flowers and berries to lighten up a cold windy day.

Tuesday, January 23, 2024: Zingari Zischtig

• Preshave: Proraso Green Preshave
• Brush: Chisel & Hound Blaireau de la République with 24mm G5 Synthetic
• Razor: Greencult GC 2.0 II
• Blade: Astra Superior Platinum (46)
• Lather: Zingari Man The Watchman
• Postshave: Mennen Le Grand Large
• Postshave: Nivea After Shave Balm

Do I know what to do? I thought about using Autumn Ash and getting serious with the kill, but then I told myself that there’s no good reason not to enjoy a Zingari Zischtig. The brush is still a bit hard on the face, but I might give it a chance (and I don’t seem to have the grip strength to extract to knot, which facilitates decisions.)

Have a good evening!

January 23, 2024 - Two Tea Tuesday

• Lather: Noble Otter - Thé Noir et Vanille - Soap

  2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.

TNeV followed by Cheshire is the right order of scents for a Two Tea Tuesday IMO. Adding Floris 89 just improved the fragrance journey.

Another day of lather tweaking. Again, I took the lather to the point of easily washing cleanly from the razor but not as far as my normal just-shy-of dripping state. The Swedish steel on this Japanese Parker certainly loved it. Amazing shave today.

SOTD 23.01.2024

• Prep: warm water
• Razor: Stando Perun
• Blade: BIC Chrome Platinum
• Brush: TGS Galaxy 26 mm
• Lather: House of Mammoth - Tobacconist
• Post Shave: Thayer’s Aloe Vera toner; Phytorelax Headshave ASB

Tobacco Tuesday head shave. Again only one pass, but good enough.

Tobacconist is such a great soap. Easily in my top 5 of scents… There’s something so unique and warm I enjoy about it. Plus, HoM has a great base that treats my skin really well.

No fragrance today since I got a bad skin reaction on both my trapezius and left wrist. Probably from spraying on way too many different fragrances. I guess it’s back to spraying on my clothes and elbows for a while…
