  • Here we go:

    Not great, but I had to take off a bit of the nose, and it's easier to hone an ex-straight straight when it has a smile

    Edit: Boris de Rivière shortened the razor, but the nose was still a bit too much out of alignment that I had to take it a bit off

    So I finally rehoned the River Razors Kamisori, into a smiling and very short kamisori. It works well enough.

    Have a good day!

    MdC and the TI are both from France, and together, they provide an absolute magnificent shave. I'm really glad to have bought Absinthe.

    Have a good evening!

    It was too late for a straight, so I went for a DE. Passable shave.

    Have a good night!

  • Thanks! In fact, I believe that the Pegasus is the biggest brush from Semogue ( the OC only are 24mm)

  • How do you like the Pegasus, and how does it compare to a SOC brush?

    Very mediocre shave – I probably didn't load heavy enough. Generally, I'm rethinking my life choices concerning Tabac Tuesday vs. Zingari Zischtig.

    Have a good night!

  • Octidi 8 Floréal an 233 de la Révolution, jour du Champignon


    The blade is getting tuggy, and especially ATG it is quite uncomfortable. Maybe some stropping will smooth it back out.

    Have a good evening!

  • There's something catholic church about the mix of spices and incense but I like it.

    But?

    Tired.

    Have a good night.

    I tried again Tabac, this time with a boar – which worked well enough. I went in rather dry, maybe that helped. In any case, I don't have any talk based Tabac around, and I believe what I'm using is the OG vegan base (though I through away the packaging, so I cannot be sure).

    Have a good evening!

  • Open Comb Micromtic Open Comb? Is that the sleep deprivation talking?

    No, its the official nomenclature recommended by the Department of Redundancy Department

  • I’m quite tired

    At least for your first 50 shaves, you should not use a straight razor when tired. I can feel quite clearly that my fine motor skills decline with the hour of the day, and I made a rule not to shave with a straight anymore after 22:00.

  • Tridi 3 Floréal an 233 de la Révolution, jour de Fougère


    Today happens to be the day of Fougère, but I unfortunately missed this. So, Tabac Tuesday + Koorat not Moarteen.

    Have a good evening!
