- Toner: Thayers - Lemon - Toner

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
- Razor: Schick E2
- Blade: Personna Injector
- Brush: Wilkinson Sword Badger
- Pre-Shave: Proraso Pre Shave Cream
- Lather: Arko Shavestick
- Aftershave: Barber No3 Marmara
- Additional Care: Alum Block
Another fantastic Friday shave. The last Schick shave for now, next week will be a GEM – unless the postman comes through with a package this weekend.
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
Friday, April 19, 2024: Tiamat's revenge
- Preshave: Proraso Green Preshave
- Brush: Semogue C3 Galahad Horse 🐎
- Razor: Star 1912 Type Razor
- Blade: Personna GEM PTFE (2)
- Lather: Abbate y La Mantia Marduk
- Postshave: Naissance 702 Witch Hazel
- Postshave: Pitralon Classic After Shave
- Postshave: Nivea After Shave Balm
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!
THRILL OF THE KILL!
Nicely done!

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.
