  • Brush: Omega - 10048 28mm Boar
  • Razor: RazoRock - GOAT
  • Blade: Personna Lab Blue (1)
  • Lather: Mike's Natural Soaps - Orange, Cedarwood, & Black Pepper - Soap
  • Post Shave: Zingari Man - The Rambler - Recovery Splash
  • Post Shave: Stirling - Glacial Unscented - Balm
  • Fragrance: Chanel - Égoïste - EdT

First shave with the GOAT (on passaround) and I'm impressed. It's slightly more efficient than the 34C, has a bit more heft to it, but has the same familiar geometry. I quickly got into autopilot with it and had an easy BBS.

Also my first time using walden's SDS to format my post. It's a neat tool! I especially like having this data hosted somewhere, making it easy to access on different devices. TBD whether this replaces my neovim plugin. :)

MdC and the TI are both from France, and together, they provide an absolute magnificent shave. I'm really glad to have bought Absinthe.

Have a good evening!

  • Brush: Kent - INF1 Synthetic
  • Razor: Koraat - 15/16 Full Hollow (5)
  • Lather: House of Mammoth - Mood Indigo - Soap
  • Post Shave: Stirling Soap Co. - Varen - Aftershave
  • Post Shave: Dove - Men+Care Ultra-Hydra - Cream
  • Fragrance: Geoffrey Beene - Grey Flannel - EdC

Really nice! The edge on this razor just seems to work well. Good closeness and not too much effort.

This little brush honestly isn't too bad, but I should take the little knot out and put something else in, since I prefer less backbone. The handle is small but easy to hold.
