Brush: Мужской Материк Orange Stabilised Burl with 28mm Oumo boar knot at 57mm loft
Razor: Zwilling J. A. Henckels 14 (8/8", extra hollow ground, carbon steel)
Lather: Barrister and Mann – Atomic Holiday
Aftershave: Barrister and Mann Seville
Fragrance: Acqua di Parma Blu Mediterraneo Arancia di Capri
This big Twin 14 is the carbon steel predecessor of my favourite razor, the Friodur 14, and a cousin of the legendary Filarmónica 14. I got it as a birthday gift in fairly good condition, cleaned it up, polished it a bit and honed it (The big extra hollows hone up so easily, it’s crazy).
What a joy it is to use! Just like I’ve learned to expect from the 14 form factor, this blade is almost soft to the touch. I’ve described the feeling of wiping stubble away with a feather and this is exactly that 😊
Arancia di Capri is a wave of citrus on a spicy base. It also reminds me of Pharaoh’s Dreamsicle, a scent I really enjoy and recently used up. This edt is going to get a lot of just this summer, I’m sure.
That razor looks awesome! Congrats on the find! Arancia di Capri sounds perfect for the summer months. Very nice deuxième rasage de luxe, or as us Americans would say, “luxury shave part deux”.

Yeah, I’m lucky this one came up on eBay when my family was asking about birthday gift ideas🙂
Oui, magique! 🥖😊
