The air quality is atrocious today, so today's shave is themed to match. I'm...pungent.

犏 (FĂș DĂ o) is a little flatter smelling in the soap and the firecracker notes dominate. The complexity is easier to pick up in the aftershave and fragrance, though I wouldn't call any of the versions bright.

Moonlight and white florals. Purdy.

Also, including some test codes for the LG planning crew. Let me know if anything looks awry—I stacked all my tags in a list item up top. u/djundjila

It sounds like you might be talking about disposable cartridge razors or all-in-one disposable razors, like the BIC Sensitive razors.

We'll recommend that instead, you buy a double-edge razor, which uses small replaceable double-edge blades that you change out every seven to thirty shaves.

This wiki talks about double edge safety razors in the "Removable Blade Razors" section. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Razor

🩣 Mammoth Monday 🩣

  • Brush: Mammoth x Voigt & Cop Smash 28mm VC01 Super Badger
  • Razor: Charcoal Goods Level 2
  • Blade: Astra SP (11)
  • Lather: House of Mammoth - Kryptonite - Shaving Soap
  • Post Shave: Fine Accoutrements - L’Orange Noir - Aftershave

I forgot that I have a very limited window for mentholated soaps—hot enough to want the cooling, but not so hot that the air conditioning is on—so I should be using Kryptonite as much possible. Excellent Mammoth Monday shave.

It's pretty rough out there CONUS for allergies, regardless of cats. Solidarity. I've been on a pill daily plus a spray every few nights all summer long.

The producer is Wilton Benitez and JBC (Wisconsin) roasted it. I know there are countless good options CONUS these days, but JBC was one of the better roasters nationally a decade ago. The last two interesting roasters I tried through a local cafe were Brandywine and Bivouac, both of which seem to focus on natural process stuff.

I'll admit I'm not good at describing razors in a precise way, but I find it comfortable and very easy to use without sticking or irritation. I'd say it's a comfortable but relatively aggressive two passes. Less so than the Blackbird SS.

New GEM blade—very smooth shave, but at least one weeper. Fresh GEMs be like that.

I should have pushed that previous blade to fifty.
