  • The Day after the Nones of August

    • Brush: Yaqi Rock
    • Lather: TGS Ambre Fougère
    • Razor: E. Jagger 89
    • Blade: Astra Green (old+3)

    Still no clear sign of frag burn - has my skin become too old for it? Has the soap spent enough time open and lost enough scent? Who knows!

    Have a good night!

  • The Nones of August (where nothing ever happens)

    • Brush: Yaqi Rock
    • Lather: TGS Ambre Fougère
    • Razor: E. Jagger 89
    • Blade: Astra Green (old)

    A decent shave. I dropped the blade into the sink at the beginning, but consequences are not the same with an Astra blade or with a River Razor kamisori. I guess I could throw it away if it's warped.

    And it turns out that using a very soft brush and bowl lathering keeps the frag burn in check. Obvious in hindsight, but I wouldn't have thunk before. I added too much water to the soap though - which killed the slickness.

    Have a good night!

  • August is the cruelest month

    • Brush: Yaqi Rock
    • Lather: TGS Ambre Fougère
    • Razor: E. Jagger 89 -Blade: Astra Green (old)

    You are probably excited to hear me bitch about Ambre Fougère. But, to be honest, no fragburn as of yet. It will come soon enough. And the blade is old and tuggy, and deserves to be retired with fellow scrap metal. Also, formatting is shitty because I didn't bring my computer.

    But why, Porkbutts, can't you just take another blade, and a decent soap from your den? See, you heathens, because August is when we remember original sin, and it is dedicated to pure, gratuitous suffering. ~Unless, of course, the suffering brings us a shortening of our stay in the purgatory. ~

    Have a good sight!

  • Last day of work - and on Sunday we're off to my parents place!

  • If everything goes according to plan, tomorrow's shave will be in a yurt surrounded by mountains, horses, cows, and sheep.

    Please tell us whether stropping is better ona live cow or a live horse

  • Primidi 11 Thermidor an 233 de la Révolution, jour de Panic – Also: Zingari Zischtig


    Day of Panic! In the shave-den on this lovely thermidor day. Morning shave, which is inhabitual. My head is doing better, and I'm always happy when I use Mousse Illuminée.

    Have a good day!

  • The percentage of people here suffering from migraine is enormous - I'm starting to wonder whether there is a link between dispositions to migraine and wetshaving 🤔

  • It may be difficult to pronounce, but it is easy to lather!

  • Yes, same here. I'm getting time out errors quite often (under Jerboa, so I don't believe this is an issue with the client)

  • Thinking of it, it has been 10 years at least that I haven't had an aural migraine.

  • Never tried to shave my eyelids or the brows – definitely would not try to do this with a straight 🤣

  • I hadn't had one of this type for quite some time. I hope I'll age out of it as well!

    I'm having a severe migraine, so I'm going light on the scents.
