    • Brush: Muninn Woodworks w/AP Shave Co 24mm Titanium Synthetic
    • Razor: Tatara Muramasa (setting: 3)
    • Blade: Gillette Nacet (5)
    • Lather: House of Mammoth - Sonder - Soap
    • Toner: Thayers - Lemon - Toner
    • Aftershave: Fabergé - Brut - Aftershave

    2 passes. Bowl lather. Excellent shave.


    I am always very impressed with the design of the Muramasa. I like the feel, the weight, and the clever adjustable mechanism.

    I felt like it would be nice to end my run of Mammoth soaps with Sonder. A very refreshing shave today!

      The black anodized aluminium with the blue details always looks great

    Italian Citrus

    • Brush: Chisel and Hound Ambrosia Maple with 26 mm synthetic Maggard knot
    • Razor: Koraat Sparschweinchen (7/8", “Sheffield-style” full hollow, carbon steel)
    • Lather: Abbate Y La Mantia Verbena Toscana
    • Aftershave: Speick Men Active After Shave Lotion
    • Fragrance: Farina 1709

    Ok, this is a great combo. Both Verbena Toscana and Farina are very citrus forward, VT with added light vervain, and Farina with some spicy scent I can’t put my finger on. This could easily be an excellent Austere August setup.

      Citrus and vervain are a very good combo; there is a French hand soap that has this scent, and I always thought that that should be what Electric sheep should smell like

        What’s that hand soap?

        I’ve never smelled electric sheep, it’s been described to me as mosquito repellent so many times that I’ve never felt the meed to try it.

          It’s Verveine Citron by Le Petit Olivier

          I don’t have any bad association with mosquito repellent, and I don’t mind the scent of Electric Sheep. But it lacks the complexity of Verveine Citron.

            Added to the shopping cart, thanks for the tip

            I don’t have any bad association with mosquito repellent

            Me neither, the drops of citronella oil in the clay diffuser before going to bed are deeply engrained childhood summer memories (I grew up in mosquito country). But it’s not something super enticing for me either.

    • Brush: AP Shave Co. - 24mm Synbad Fan
    • Razor: Gillette Red Tip Super Speed
    • Blade: My-Blades (1)
    • Lather: Martin de Candre - Fougère - Soap
    • Post Shave: Stirling Soap Co. - Varen - Aftershave
    • Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Mood Indigo - Balm
    • Fragrance: Spearhead - Seaforth! Heather - EdP

    Ah yes, My-Blades. Money laundering, right? Apparently they actually sell blades now. This one was a hand-me-down from a YouTube influencer who got it for the price of shilling them :-). Their website has “Silver” and “Platinum” blades, but there’s no way to know which one this is. Why no “Gold” blades?! Missed opportunity if you ask me.

    Friday, April 19, 2024: Tiamat’s revenge


    Marduk is gone! And its the second soap I kill in the Nobel Otter Hamami tub – which is graphically among my favorite designs (I had corosion issues in the original AYLM tub). For the moment, I have no soap that would be even close to being killable in the near future (apart from maybe Autumn Ash, but that will be for autumn.

    Have a good night!
