Green Fig into Oro Valley worked quite well. An easy, comfortable shave to start the week and end the month. Congrats again to Catie's Bubbles for the March Madness win!

Something like this would probably work (untested):

# Get the day of month as a number
day=$(date +%-d)

# Determine the correct suffix
case $day in
    1|21|31) suffix="st";;
    2|22) suffix="nd";;
    3|23) suffix="rd";;
    *) suffix="th";;
esac

# Print the date with the ordinal suffix
formatted_date=$(date +"%B %-d$suffix, %Y")

Another way scripting in bash kinda sucks: you can’t call off to nice easy to use libraries that make this sort of thing trivial :)

Wednesday, March 26, 2025: BVWSC Tabacness

  • Brush: Rad Dinosaur Creations "Nebulagance" - TurnNShave Quartermoon 26mm synthetic
  • Razor: Yates Precision Manufacturing - 921-M
  • Blade: Bolzano - Superinox (2)
  • Lather: Mäurer & Wirtz - Tabac Shave Stick
  • Post Shave: Mäurer & Wirtz - Tabac Aftershave splash
  • Post Shave: Stirling - Glacial Unscented Aftershave balm
  • Fragrance: Mäurer & Wirtz - Tabac EdC

RIP TSF, you had a great run. I talked some shit against them, but TSF really does make a good soap with fun scents. I'm glad to have some of their soaps.

Tabac today as a stand-in for the BVWSC soap of the month which was waylaid by the German postal system. I can't complain though, Tabac always gives me a good shave. Now off to the office smelling like a middle-aged man.

Have a great day y'all!

You have nothing to apologize for man. I’m sorry you’re dealing with so much, but it’s ultimately just a shave. :)

I hope things start to feel easier for you soon. Pop back in when you can, and best of luck with your studies!

Superlative results from the MMOC. Three passes, no irritation. I love this little razor.

Black Ice into Lavanille works very well, I'll have to remember this combo.

Praise Friday y'all!

  • Brush: Rad Dinosaur Creations "Nebulagance" - TurnNShave Quartermoon 26mm synthetic
  • Razor: Chiseled Face - Titanium Legacy Razor
  • Blade: Bolzano - Superinox (3)
  • Lather: Talent Soap Factory - Kittyhawk
  • Post Shave: Barrister and Mann - Paganini's Violin Aftershave splash
  • Post Shave: Ginger's Garden - Unscented Aftershave balm (+ menthol)

Another quick shave. Meetings --;

Kittyhawk fits the bill for an aquatic scent IMO, and it's a lovely slightly sweet summer scent. Notes: salty sea air, dried coconut, eucalyptus, jasmine, clove, vetiver, driftwood. Good stuff.

Light on the post-shave fragrance today since I have a dentist appointment this afternoon.

  • Brush: Zenith/Stirling - 510SE-XL 31mm boar
  • Razor: GEM - Micromatic Flying Wing
  • Blade: Personna - GEM PTFE (1)
  • Lather: Stirling - Arkadia
  • Post Shave: Stirling - Arkadia Aftershave splash
  • Post Shave: Ginger's Garden - Unscented Aftershave balm (+ menthol)
  • Fragrance: Stirling - Arkadia EdT

I had good results from my first shave with this Flying Wing, though it was a rough shave overall. Somehow, I woke up with razor burn on my neck that wasn't there when I went to sleep...

Have a good day all!

I've only tried this Clog-Pruf, but I can definitely recommend it! It was also pretty inexpensive and easy to find one in good condition.

  • Brush: Yaqi - Mysterious Space 24mm 2-band Badger
  • Razor: Chiseled Face - Titanium Legacy Razor

  • Lather: Stirling - Haverford
  • Post: Stirling - Haverford Aftershave splash
  • Post: Stirling - Glacial Unscented Aftershave balm
  • Frag: Stirling - Haverford EdT

Haverford is a great scent. I'm almost finished with my aftershave and EdT samples, so will probably add these to my next Stirling order. It's just so dang comforting, especially in cooler weather.

Have a good day y'all.

That soap sounds very interesting! Does it have algae and seaweed as ingredients?
