Weinstrasse and Armonía are a fun combo, very green and lively, and — most importantly — Djunior-approved.

Kids are a ton of fun at that age. Are there scents that Djunior does not like?
3ReplyI think he still takes his cues from me, so he mostly approves 😅
But there are some scents here really likes and will compliment unpromtped, like Haverford (of course), and now Armonía

Wednesday, April 3, 2024: Marduk Mittwoch
- Preshave: Proraso Green Preshave
- Brush: Semogue C3 Galahad Horse 🐎

- Lather: Abbate y La Mantia Marduk
- Postshave: Naissance 702 Witch Hazel

A very good shave - I used a ridiculous amount of soap, which is apparently what is required in order to get a good lather going with hard water. I did something right when honing the Friodur – trouble is, I don't quite know what.
Have a good night!

@PorkButtsNTaters666 3ReplyWatched it, thanks! Great video, with very helpful illustrations, and you dumbed down the material science to the point where I had the impression understanding 😂
You seem to be on your way to wetstonetube fame - continue the good work!
3ReplyVery nice video, thanks! May I ask why you rekilled the edge on the 8k? Do you think there would already be enough fatigued material there?

I’ll be doing a Principles of Honing video in the next day or two. Hopefully, there will be some information there that will be helpful.
