Duodi 22 Nivôse an 234 de la Révolution, jour de Sel


I brought back the River Razors kamisori, and I got a very close shave with it today (the extremely slick Martin de Candre base certainly helped). I will bring it back into my regular rotation (after the accident)! Absinthe is a nice and unobtrusive scent – nothing to write home about, but good and fresh. And the badger brush is also a very good experience - the only issue is that it fits only with difficulty into my mug for getting more water.

Have a good day!

  • Brush: Dogwood Handcrafts - "Santa Noir" w/ 28mm Badger
  • Razor: GEM Micromatic Clog-Pruf
  • Blade: Personna GEM PTFE (1)
  • Lather: House of Mammoth - Snippid - Soap
  • Post Shave: London Razors - Mountain Laurel - Aftershave
  • Post Shave: Stirling Soap Co. - Friends to the End - Balm
  • Fragrance: Eau Factory - Noble - EdT

The Clog-Pruf sure is great. The first couple of passes I kept thinking man, this is smooth. No weepers, super nice. Then, of course, the 3rd pass introduced 3 or 4 weepers. Go figure.

Still an excellent shave.

No weepers, super nice.

This thought is a reliable magical incantation provoking weapers

Something New Sunday. If I remember correctly, Stirling described this scent as inspired by Anthony Bourdain. I added in 7 Doubloons for a dash of pirate.

Have a great day!

Destination Unknown is a dupe of Versace Eros. I also have this one and really enjoy it.

Only a few more weeks of continuous use until it's gone!

I’ve been loading it like it owes me money, so hopefully that’s not the case lol

Another close shave, though not quite as good as yesterday's.

The weekend really isn't long enough. I want a three-day weekend every week.

For years we had a 9/80 schedule at work (every other Friday off). It was magnificent... 26 Fridays off every year. Then I realized I had 26 short weekends each year. Current job, I scored a 4/10 schedule (every Friday off). Mondays still suck. :)

Yeah, I think really what I want is to be retired or otherwise financially independent.
