Share your shave of the day!
Tuesday, November 5, 2024: Zingari Zischtig
- Preshave: Proraso Green Preshave
- Brush: Chisel & Hound Blaireau de la République with 24mm G5 Synthetic
- Razor: Karve CB Brass C Plate CC
- Blade: Astra Superior Platinum (20)
- Lather: Zingari Man Bon Monsieur
- Postshave: Naissance 702 Witch Hazel
- Postshave: Zingari Man Bon Monsieur Recovery Splash
- Postshave: Nivea After Shave Balm
Bon Monsieur is glorious, and very different from the late Autumn Ash. This was the first shave with the Karve since a very long time – comfortable, but not as close as with a straight. Also a rather old blade. Maybe I should explore a bit more my DEs.
Have a good night!
November 5, 2024 - FLS
- Brush: Omega - 10048 boar
- Razor: Gillette - Super Speed Black Tip
- Blade: Gillette - Perma-Sharp (1)
- Lather: Chiseled Face - Pine Tar
- Post: Barrister and Mann - Roam Two AS splash
- Post: Stirling - Glacial Unscented AS balm

I had a very rushed shave in between meetings this morning.
Pine Tar always feels great on my skin, which was welcome after the irritation I experienced last night.
Have a good day y’all, and try to stay positive. Elections always cause so much anxiety, but the world will go on.

Another fine shave with Speick. Good stuff, although I find that you need to use sort of a lot of product.
Have you tried the speick soap tub? Good stuff IMO

2 passes. Bowl lather. Excellent shave.
— I’m traveling, so only the soap will be changing for FLS and SLS during this trip. Thanks to u/VisceralWatch for the FBT. Love this little razor. It’s perfect for travel.
Fat bottom techs they’ll be riding today
So watch out for those beauties oh yeah
Love the acronym-laden techno speak 😄

Is yours a 2-piece handle? I got the same kind of razor from Vis.
Yes. It’s a two-piece handle. Absolutely perfect for travel.

DE for Twosdays 05 Nov 2024
- Brush: Zenith - 506 N XS (extra soft horse)
- Razor: Wolfman WR2 (1.55 mm SB / 1.25 mm OC)
- Blade: Polsilver
- Lather: Noble Otter – 茉莉綠茶
- Post Shave: Gentleman’s Nod – Musahi
- Fragrance: Giorgio Armani – Thé Yulong
Delicious tea accords for this very early morning shave. Noble Otter’s tea scents really resonate with me, and 茉莉綠茶 filled a hole I didn’t know my den had. The base isn’t the most forgiving to lather well, but the extra soft Zenith horse is perfect for these situations. The fat horse hair bristles a really slow latherers, never froth, and feel nice.
The gentle Wolfie with the big gap was a joy to use as always, but now it’s time to take the early train for a meeting with customers who live in very inconvenient time zones. Such is life.
Early meetings----
💯
