    Varen Vrijdag

    • Brush: Dogwood Handcrafts Papa Eld with Declaration Grooming B3 knot
    • Razor: Thiers Issard Le Dandy
    • Lather: Stirling Soap Co. — Varen
    • Aftershave: House of Mammoth/Noble Otter/Declaration Grooming Cerberus — Fougère
    • Fragrance: Spearhead Shaving Company – Seaforth! Heather

    Nice shave this morning, as usual with Varen and it’s sheep tallow base. I think I’ve reached the point where the widening ring of death significantly hinders brush loading. I’ll have to smush that down before my next Varening.

    • Prep: hot tea, hot shower
    • Brush: Omega 0146138 HI-BRUSH, 25mm Synthetic Shaving Brush
    • Razor: Gillette Aristocrat (1948-50)
    • Blade: Durablade Sharp Hi Chromium
    • Lather: Stirling – Sharp Dressed Man - Shave Soap
    • Post Shave: Stirling – Sharp Dressed Man - Post Shave Balm

    The Stirling ring of death on continues. Once it starts it always seems to last much longer than I expect it to.

    🌿 Fougère Friday: L’Avventura🪻

    • Brush: Chisel & Hound/House of Mammoth Beloved 26mm v15 Fanchurian Knot
    • Razor: EldrormR Industries MM24

    • Lather: Grooming Dept - L’Avventura - Soap
    • Post Shave: Grooming Dept - L’Avventura - Aftershave (Alcohol Free)

    The bright fougère of L’Avventura was very nice this morning, especially in combination with Heather.

    The blade in the MM24 is finally getting to that point where it’s just a smooth shave with no aggression whatsoever. Love it!
