Switched the blade over into the Red Tip. I've heard people say this razor is aggressive, but mine is not. It's pretty efficient, though. It's a nice razor and I enjoy it.

  • Brush: AP Shave Co Lemondrop 28mm SynBad
  • Razor: Tanifuji Spalding 0411 6/8" Full Hollow
  • Lather: CBL Soap - Doc Holiday - Soap
  • Toner: Thayers - Coconut - Toner
  • Aftershave: CBL Soap - Doc Holiday - Aftershave

3 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


This soap's scent and base is growing on me. I liked it when I first tried it but I made my normal thinner, slicker lather with it. Today, I loaded more heavily. The base is slick with little water added and builds slickness easily as you add water. So it is a very easy base to load heavily and build a very slick lather with as much water as you want.

  • Brush: TGS Galaxy 26 mm
  • Razor: Leaf Thorn
  • Blade: Derby Premium half DE
  • Lather: HAGS - Aftermath
  • Post-Shave: Alterra - Men ASB
  • Passes & Info: 1 pass plus buffing on the head, mostly ATG + XTG; a good shave.

This shave was already a small improvement over yesterday. It was still brief because my energy still isn't back to a full 100%, but it's noticeably smoother.

Aftermath is a dupe of Amouage Interlude Man, a fragrance I really like for its luxurious yet comfortable vibe. If only it wouldn't cost an arm and a leg... This is still in the vegan base and was one of the earliest HAGS releases AFAIK, this base is a bit more sticky than I prefer and definitely inferior to the (mutton) tallow bases from him. Still capable of giving a good shave with proper hydration.

Everything at work is in crisis mode and everyone seems to be in a bad mood. Understandable due to the dire situation, yet this wasn't quite what I had hoped for in my new position. Well, at least I should have a mail call to fetch tomorrow afternoon - I got myself some things to reward myself for the successful RN degree, should be nice πŸ‘ŒπŸ»
