Saturday, July 27, 2024: Saturday shave

• Preshave: Proraso Green Preshave
• Brush: Zenith 506U XS Horse 🐎
• Razor: River Razors Kamisori
• Lather: HAGS Megalodon
• Postshave: Naissance 702 Witch Hazel
• Postshave: Floid The Genuine
• Postshave: Nivea After Shave Balm

After my Olympics adventure yesterday (crowded place, heavy rain, couldn't see the river even though I must be among the tallest 15% of males in France), I had backpain, and took it easy today. I used the red tiger balm on my back today, and I must say I like the scent. If there were a tiger balm shaving soap, I would definitely buy it.

There was not much to do today, since it rained more or less the whole day (a sure sign that the President has lost the Mandate of Heaven).

Have a good night!

• Brush: Muninn Woodworks w/ C&H V19 Fanchurian
• Razor: Iberia 14 Doble Temple 8/8, Extra Hollow Square Point
• Lather: Chicago Grooming Co. - Armonia
• Post Shave: Chicago Grooming Co. - Armonia Aftershave Splash

I just had this Armonia set land today, courtesy of u/chicagogroomingco, for my LG prize. Thank you again, Vida!

The scent is very nice, with a lot of tobacco leading the way, which I was hoping it would. Darkwing is super slick and pairing it with the Iberia is always a treat.

Close and comfortable shave, no nicks or irritation.

• Brush: Summer Break Soaps w/Maggard 28mm Silvertip Badger
• Razor: Ever-Ready Streamline Jewel Gen 2
• Blade: Personna GEM PTFE (6)
• Lather: Barrister & Mann - Petrichor - Soap
• Post Shave: London Razors - Mountain Laurel - Aftershave
• Fragrance: London Razos - Mountain Laurel - EdP

Inspired by @sahenders@sub.wetshaving.social 's shave yesterday, I whipped out my Jewel. Incredible shave. Just as efficient as the MMOC that I've been using, but with a bit less blade feel. Both razors are great, but this one feels premium.
