Le Père Lucien - Oud Santal

Is that Mitchels Wool Fat?

I’ve never thought to myself that the length of a razor’s handle was too long for travel

3-piece razors can be packed quite tightly – the issue is probably bigger for 2-piece or TTOs.

Décadi 10 Pluviôse an 233 de la Révolution, jour de Coignée

• Preshave: Proraso White Preshave
• Brush: Chisel & Hound Blaireau de la République with 24mm G5 Synthetic
• Razor: Karve CB Brass C Plate CC
• Blade: Wilkinson Sword (1)
• Lather: Zingari Man The Watchman
• Postshave: Naissance 702 Witch Hazel

• Postshave: Nivea After Shave Balm

I really enjoyed The Watchman yesterday, so I repeated the experience. Mousse Illuminée somehow fits with the Watchman.

Have a good evening!

And seconding another of your comments!

Seconding the question. We deserve details!

Wow such order (and black shoes) 😜

Nonidi 9 Pluviôse an 233 de la Révolution, jour du Peuplier

• Preshave: Proraso White Preshave
• Brush: Semogue Owner’s Club Boar 🐗 ‘Taj’
• Razor: J.A. Henckels Friodur 72
• Lather: Zingari Man The Watchman
• Postshave: Naissance 702 Witch Hazel

I took out the frio today – a surprisingly light razor, given its size, and very sharp. I should use it more regularly.

Have a good evening!

Octidi 8 Pluviôse an 233 de la Révolution, jour de Mézéréon

• Preshave: Proraso White Preshave
• Brush: Semogue C3 Galahad Horse 🐎
• Razor: Ertan Süer L’Ours Russe (7/8th)
• Lather: Abbate y la Mantia Ishtar
• Postshave: Naissance 702 Witch Hazel
• Postshave: Epsilon Blue Mediterranean
• Postshave: Nivea After Shave Balm

Ishtar is on the chopping block; it clearly will not see the summer. And with the revolutionary calendar, I learn new words. Today’s namesake is a highly poisoneous plant, I don’t know why you would name a day after it.

Have a good evening!

Obviously - it’s Swiss-made 🇨🇭🇨🇭

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!

Sextidi 6 Pluviôse an 233 de la Révolution, jour de Laurier-Thym

• Preshave: Proraso White Preshave

• Lather: Abbate y la Mantia Ishtar
• Postshave: Naissance 702 Witch Hazel

I have underused my AC shavettes; less fun than straights, but less involved for shaving as well.

Have a good evening!

Congrats!

No offense - your mug is still better than mine 🤣

No new job nor instrument skillz here, but: for some reason, I am subscribed to the Tatara newsletter.

This is what they have as an illustration of wetshaving. Admittedly, the model looks better than djundjila, but tell me you’ve never held a DE razor without telling me you never held a DE razor!

Tridi 3 Pluviôse an 233 de la Révolution, jour de Fragon

• Preshave: Proraso White Preshave
• Brush: Semogue C3 Galahad Horse 🐎
• Razor: Parker Straight Razor
• Lather: Le Père Lucien Narcisse
• Postshave: Naissance 702 Witch Hazel
• Postshave: Pitralon Classic After Shave
• Postshave: Nivea After Shave Balm

I felt sufficiently confident today to try my luck again with a straight razor – and I did well: no bent razor, no nicks, no irritation. And Narcisse is soo good.

Have a good evening!
