    26.01.2025 - KAI bites

    • Brush: AP Shave Co. Snakeskin handle w/ 26 mm Silksmoke Flattop/Fan hybrid knot
    • Razor: RazoRock Cyber Medium w RR Bamboo 316L handle; KAI Captain J-7 kamisori shavette
    • Blade: Rapira Platinum Lux; KAI Protouch MG
    • Lather: Barrister & Mann - The Full Measure of Man
    • Post-Shave: alum block; OAM witch hazel & cucumber toner; benecos 2in1 aftershave face balm

    -> 1 pass head shave and 2 around the goatee. Nice smooth head shave, but very rough on the face today - lots of weepers and redness.

    Today’s shave is a reminder that I shouldn’t be too cocky with guarded blades. After yesterday’s shave with the KAI went pretty well, I thought that I could already ramp up to a 2-pass shave. I was wrong. It felt rough, it was especially awful around my neck and I got dozens of weepers. My face is still red and aching. Probably caused by lack of technique and recklessness. I know some scoff at alum, but today I was really grateful for owning that Osma block…

    I guess my face will need a day of rest tomorrow. Perhaps I should ease back into that with some mild safety razor shaves between the KAI usage. Well, you live and learn 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Just another reminder that https://gem.wetshaving.social/ (Alexandrite front-end) now allows photo uploads. Woohoo! Still no auto-fill username tagging, though.

    Great shave. This soap base is wonderful. Easy to load, easy to hydrate, super slick, super wet.

    This blade is still very sharp at 6 uses. I’ve gotten weepers every shave with it so far. Otherwise the shaves are ultra comfortable.

    Septidi 7 Pluviôse an 233 de la Révolution, jour d’Amadouvier

    • Preshave: Proraso White Preshave
    • Brush: Yaqi 28mm Synthetic Rock
    • Razor: Tedalus Essence
    • Blade: Kai Captain Titan Pink Mild (3)
    • Lather: Stirling Arcadia
    • Postshave: Naissance 702 Witch Hazel
    • Postshave: Terre d’Hermès After Shave Lotion
    • Postshave: Nivea After Shave Balm

    Another AC shavette that I have much neglected last lear – the Tedalus. I bought it in times when Tedalus didn’t target the billionaire class, and it is a very well-done razor, even though I am not a huge fan of their magnet-based blade clamping system.

    Have a good evening!

    600 Sun 26 Jan 2025

    • 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.

    That soap base is an apex performer. - @Old_Hiker@sub.wetshaving.social
