  • Brush: TGS Galaxy 26 mm
  • Razor: Leaf Thorn
  • Blade: Perma-Sharp half DE
  • Lather: Wholly Kaw - King of Bourbon
  • Post-Shave: Lavera Men sensitive ASB

-> 1-pass WTG head and face shave. Increased the frequency, still kept it at a single pass though.

Also one of my odd partial face shaves, have gone back to a full goatee from my scraggly unkempt long stubble and to make this stand out, you need to shave around it. Who knows, maybe I'll keep it this time around if I maintain it at a fairly short length.

Shaving with the Thorn instead of the Cyber is a bit less comfortable, but this one is great for even lines and general efficiency.

Have a nice evening/night/whatevertimeitisinyourtimezone✌🏻

Nice DE shave.

Yet another update to the Shaving Data System today. I've improved the organization a bit, and made the $discord tag optional (enabled by default).

I've also written a migration guide found here that describes the manual process involved in moving your data to a new/updated template.

  • Brush: Rubberset 400 w/ Maggard SHD
  • Razor: Chiseled Face Legacy Ti
  • Blade: Gillette Silver Blue
  • Lather Catie’s Bubbles - V
  • Post Shave: Catie’s Bubbles - V

This is a really special scent and I love it. Currently have a frag en route.

Septidi 17 Floréal an 233 de la Révolution, jour de Pimprenelle: Zingari Zischtig


A quick midday shave (working from home). In its current state, this razor doesn't give me the closest of shaves. I'm not sure whether I'll have to adapt my technique to the smile, or whether I should put it back on the stones.

Anyways, have a good day!

Tabac Tuesday 06 May 2025

  • Brush: Dogwood Handcrafts Tabak Oridjinal, now with 28 mm Gelousy knot
  • Razor: Koraat – r/Wetshaving exclusive Moarteen (15/16", full hollow, carbon steel)
  • Lather: Mäurer & Wirtz – Tabac Original
  • Post Shave: Mäurer & Wirtz – Tabac Original
  • Fragrance: Mäurer & Wirtz – Tabac Original

This Stankening is my 20ᵗʰ use of the Moarteen and its factory edge, and yet another great shave. I'm really happy with how the Moarteen turned out.

"I’m really happy with how the Moarteen turned out"

It turned out far better than I expected. It has a lighter, more nimble feel than my custom 14-2.0 and the grip of the unfinished tang, when wet, is a complete surprise.
