  • The scent reminds me of something, but I can’t put my finger on it right now. This is going to drive me nuts 😅

    Telegrama?

  • Primidi 1 Ventôse an 233 de la Révolution, jour de Tussilage


    It's the first day of the Windy month, and also, BVWSC!

    @gcgallant@sub.wetshaving.social's Dragonsbeard is an intriguing scent: it reminded me somewhat of Telegrama, by Imaginary Authors – which must be the vanilla, because otherwise, there doesn't seem any scent in common. It is slightly spicy and woody, and I like it!

    This time, after my problems last time, I was prudent enough to use a synthetic brush, and it was easy to lather (even though it drowned it slightly). Improvements!

    Have a good evening!

    Edit: I fat-fingered the soap – obviously it was Dragonsbeard

  • Nonidi 29 Pluviôse an 233 de la Révolution, jour de Chélidoine


    Another republican day, another plant I knew nothing about. It's this one, if you are interested. If you're not interested, it it still this one.

    In shave-related news, I got back my kamisori from Boris de Rivière on Saturday, sharpened it yesterday, and tried it out today in the morning. I didn't pay enough attention when honing (I thought the issue was that I didn't get close enough on the toe on the other side; doh!), but the toe slightly points into one direction, and can leave a trace in the strop. Also, I feel it on one side when shaving, so I guess the razor will have to go back on the stones before I use it again. I didn't measure it before I sent it away, but I assume there has been quite considerable shortening going on.

    Have a good day!

    I don't really know why, but this razor somehow fits me. It is on the lighter side, but not small. And it is shiny 😍

    Have a good evening!

  • Thit's what you get from not according your adjective with the noun's gender! I had a shop close to my place called Casa Mexicano. It went broke.

    Though Vero Moda is still going strong.

  • Where are you based? In Europe, they seem to be available via amazon, for instance, here:

    Otherwise, the Zenith horse brush will probably make you happy as well!

  • Zenith horse brushes are good, but I prefer the Semogue (Pharos C3 or Galahad C3)

    I'm getting into a routine here, but I really like this combination of hard- and software.

    Have a good evening!

    A good Saturday afternoon shave – close and comfortable. Bon Monsieur seems to fit with almost anything.

    Have a good evening!
