      2 passes. Face lather. Good shave.

    u/VisceralWatch introduced me to Eufros. I’m so happy he did. I think that the soap and balm are of very high quality.

    Most of the shaves I get from straights are “excellent” these days but this shave was “good” as was the last shave in which I used a stainless straight razor. Stainless has a dubious reputation in the SR community but I think it may have to do with how the material is sharpened and not the material itself. I think I need to adjust my technique for stainless a bit. Note that almost all DE blades are stainless and they do not hinder a great shave.

    SOTD 19.02.2024

    • Prep: warm water
    • Razor: Headblade S4 Lunar Eclipse
    • Blade: HB 2
    • Brush: AP Shave Co. Snakeskin w/ 26 mm Fan/Flattop
    • Lather: Proraso Wood & Spice cream
    • Post Shave: Phytorelax Headshave ASB

    So today’s shave was basically a repeat of yesterday. I brought the Headblade with me for convenience - the Proraso cream is almost empty, so I hope I’ll be able to kill it while I’m over here.

    1 pass, very fast but not super comfortable. Well, there’s always a downside to everything.

    Rinse, Repeat

    • Brush: Stirling Soap Co. Zenith Boar Brush 31mm × 50mm
    • Razor: Schick Repeating Razor Type B
    • Blade: Personna Injector
    • Lather: Stirling Soap Co. Varen
    • Aftershave: Stirling Soap Co. Varen
    • Fragrance: The Scottish Fine Soaps Company Vetiver & Sandalwood

    First of a series of Varen shaves with my current go-to travel razor while on ski break. It occurred to me that I brought this poor, ring-of-deathed Dutch soap to the least Dutch place imaginable to proceed with killing it; a mountain. Oh well.

        Lol, that lovely place is 16 km from where I am right now and I used to live right next to it during my internship for engineering school, which means that I should have thought of that convenient loophole.

        the Dutch don’t thrive in the mountains, so it seems fitting to kill it on a mountain.

        Like Herakles with Antaios, one must hold this Dutch soap aloft, far from its low motherlands to drain its life force 🙂

    I returned from my trip to Copenhagen, so of course I had to trickhole Hygge. It’s Mammoth Monday—even better!
