Dec 8, 2024 - Two Kings and a Barber
Brush: AKA Brushworx Sea Creature 26mm AK7 Synthentic Knot
Razor: Mühle Rocca R94
Blade: Perma-Sharp Super [5]
Lather: Noble Otter - Two Kings - Soap
Post Shave: Noble Otter - Barrbarr - Splash
Excellent lather, incredible shave, and refreshing aftershave. I need to use Two Kings more often.

Brush: Chisel & Hound Gulf Short 26mm V22 Fanchurian
Razor: Frederick Reynolds "The Celebrated" 4/8 Hollow Ground
Lather: 345 Soaps - Undercut - Soap
Aftershave: 345 Soaps - Undercut - Aftershave
2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
Wonderful shave celebrating the last race of the Formula 1 season. (Undercut is an F1 term.) This little Fredrick Reynolds is quite the racecar of a razor :)
Sun 08 Dec 2024
Brush: Rubberset 400-3 with unbleached 26 mm Zenith knot set at 56 mm loft
Razor: C. V. Heljestrand MK № 31 (square point, full hollow, 5/8", carbon steel)
Lather: Southern Witchcrafts – Autumn Ash
Post Shave: Barrister and Mann – Nocturne
Fragrance: Southern Witchcrafts – Autumn Ash
I leaned into the season today with this Nocturne Ash combo. Really enjoyed lathering with the strong backbone on this brush and got a nice shave with the butter smooth Heljestrand. The SW base is really great.
December 8, 2024
Brush: Wolf Whiskers – "Gianmaria" w/Maggard 26mm Synthetic
Razor: EldrormR Industries MM24
Blade: Personna GEM PTFE (1)
Lather: Declaration Grooming - Original - Soap (Bison)
Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Santa Noir - Aftershave
Post Shave: Goodfellow & Co. - Face Lotion - Kelp & Sea Mineral
The MM24 is way more aggressive than what I prefer, but boy is it efficient! Got some weepers, but nothing too bad.
House of Mammoth is closed for the season, making this aftershave 100% unobtanium.

Brush: Muninn Woodworks Gloire de France with Zenith 505BC Boar 🐗
Razor: Koraat 14.2 Straight Razor
Lather: Wholly Kaw Entropy Man
Postshave: Naissance 702 Witch Hazel
Postshave: Epsilon Blue Mediterranean

The Koraat was sharp, but not comfortable. I tried to correct this, and sure enough, sharpness decreased.
Have a good evening!

  Ouch. Is this Koraat being difficult to maintain?
  
  It's probably just me - I'm not particularly gifted with smiling edges. And the fact that I didn't have much time today certainly didn't help.
  You will see yourself with the moarteen!
