After my Olympics adventure yesterday (crowded place, heavy rain, couldn't see the river even though I must be among the tallest 15% of males in France), I had backpain, and took it easy today. I used the red tiger balm on my back today, and I must say I like the scent. If there were a tiger balm shaving soap, I would definitely buy it.
There was not much to do today, since it rained more or less the whole day (a sure sign that the President has lost the Mandate of Heaven).
Brush: Zenith 506B MB (27 mm × 55 mm Manchurian badger)
Razor: Fatip - Lo Storto - Testa Dentata
Blade: Derby Extra
Lather: Barrister and Mann – Oceana (Soft Heart)
Post Shave: Ralon – Sport
Fragrance: Stirling Soap Co. – Island Man
Today is already the last day of the beach portion of our summer break. It went too quickly, but it was also great. Djunior loves the water and made great progress learning to swim. Great shave with Soft Heart Oceana today.
Post Shave: Chicago Grooming Co. - Armonia Aftershave Splash
I just had this Armonia set land today, courtesy of u/chicagogroomingco, for my LG prize. Thank you again, Vida!
The scent is very nice, with a lot of tobacco leading the way, which I was hoping it would. Darkwing is super slick and pairing it with the Iberia is always a treat.
Close and comfortable shave, no nicks or irritation.
Post Shave: London Razors - Mountain Laurel - Aftershave
Fragrance: London Razos - Mountain Laurel - EdP
Inspired by @sahenders@sub.wetshaving.social 's shave yesterday, I whipped out my Jewel. Incredible shave. Just as efficient as the MMOC that I've been using, but with a bit less blade feel. Both razors are great, but this one feels premium.

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
I'm headed on travel for a couple of days. Seville was a nice way to start the trip.

I agree with you about Darkwing. I’ve decided to use it for AA.

Oh nice choice! Which set?
gcgallant@sub.wetshaving.social · 3 pts · 2y
I’m thinking 1889 soap/spash, Moar Boar, Frio 14, and Guerlain Jicky (if it gets here in time). Naturally, I’ll be riding this horse headless :)

That sounds like a great setup for a month! I'd like to grab some Jicky at some point.

I like the idea of using a r/wetshaving brush and soap/splash for AA

It's that extra weight. So decadent 😊
