Brush: Zenith r/Wetshaving exclusive MOAR BOAR (31 mm × 57 mm bleached boar)
Razor: Zwilling J. A. Henckels Friodur 14 (8/8", extra hollow ground, stainless steel)
Lather: Catie’s Bubbles – Blugère
Post Shave: Catie’s Bubbles – Blugère
Fragrance: Catie’s Bubbles – Blugère
This marks my 600th straight razor shave, and 712th open blade shave. I’ve missed all the previous milestone-y numbers, but randomly happened to check yesterday and saw that I was at 599 shave. It’s been a strangely satisfying journey in this side tunnel of the rabbit hole that started with the introduction of the Hardware Scavenger Hunt during the 2022 Lather Games. I own a few lovely straight razors by now, but this Friodur 14 is still my favourite. Gentle, and heavy, a wonderful combination.
Blugère is a wonderful scent, just so enjoyable. Wonderful for this Sunday morning shave. And this soap base is a pleasure to use.
