A Haverford Trickhole never fails to hit the spot. Yes, layering and combining frags is fun, but Haverford can easily stand on its own.
Nice photo!

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
When Valentine’s Day and Black Watch Wednesday coincide, the choice for setup is obvious. I enjoyed the Black Watch trifecta, and it paired perfectly with the large Koraat. Great shave today!

- Razor: RazoRock Game Changer .84P

- Lather: Australian Private Reserve - Raconteur - Soap
- Post Shave: Southern Witchcrafts - Incorporeal - Aftershave
- Fragrance: Barrister & Mann - Lavender, Interrupted - EdP
I’ve heard this razor works well with Polsilver blades so I gave it a whirl. I’ve gotten close shaves with various blades in this razor, and Polsilver wasn’t any different. Nice shave. Still more blade feel than I prefer, so I’ll send it on it’s way and maybe keep a lookout for a .68 gap.
February 14, 2024: Witchcraft Wednesday
- Preshave: Proraso Green Preshave
- Brush: Semogue C3 Galahad Horse 🐎
- Razor: Parker Straight Razor
- Lather: Southern Witchcraft Autumn Ash
- Post Shave: Floid The Genuine
- Post Shave: Nivea After Shave Balm
I hesitated to get the Koraat - but that would have been too big a change after the Barbarossa. A good shave, and the Parker is indeed easier to hold than the Barbarossa.
Have a good evening!
