A very nice shave on a sunny day. Time to take out the summer scents – and there’s nothing better than Le Grand Chypre. The combination with Bon Monsieur is maybe not the best pairing, but each of them is great in their own way.
Have a good day!

Yeah, I agree with that. Wonderful fresh scent but with some depth to it.

- Brush: Thäter Faux Ivory 29mm 2-band Silvertip
- Razor: Tatara Muramasa (setting: 4)
- Blade: Gillette 7 O’Clock SharpEdge (Yellow) (5)
- Lather: WestMan Shaving - Nirvana - Soap
- Toner: Thayers - Lavender - Toner
- Aftershave: WestMan Shaving - Nirvana - Aftershave Balm
2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
Nirvana is a very well-blended scent headlined by fig and sandalwood. Today, I was really getting the contribution of those two notes to the fragrance. Wonderful! And the soap base is extraordinary. WestMan soaps are worth having, IMHO. I need to get more.
I love what Tatara razors did with the design of the Muramasa. Settings 1 and 2 are negative and neutral exposure, respectively, as I recall. Those settings will work well for people who prefer to use a lot of pressure. I’ve been able to get great shaves from settings 3, 4, and 5, though. Today’s shave was no exception.
- Brush: Zenith B8 (XL aluminium handle, 28 mm × 57 mm boar)
- Razor: Puma 88 (5/8", round tip, carbon steel, hollow ground)
- Lather: Spearhead Shaving Company - Seaforth! Sea ICE Lime
- Aftershave: Spearhead Shaving Company - Seaforth! Sea Spice Lime
This scent reminds me so much of summer. Two AAs with SIL and SSL will do that
Puma 88
I don’t remember this one either! If it’s new, I think you’re on a roll! I have an 89 incoming.
Well spotted!
Yes, I’ve cleaned and honed three recent additions to the den 10 or so days ago, just before first Djunior and then I got sick. I wanted to make a little Mail Call/Maintenance post but haven’t made the time for it yet.
Here’s a sneak peak
Pretty good condition! It’s a German hollow 5/8", which is to say a great shaver, but not big or flashy enough to be fancy.
Oh, and the 89 is a gorgeous looking razor. I’m looking forward to seeing yours
