September 20th, 2025: Meetup day

  • Brush: L'Occitane Plisson Synthetic
  • Razor: Gold Dollar Straight Razor (10)
  • Lather: Stirling Soap Co. - I, Rich Moose - Soap
  • Post Shave: Stirling Soap Co. - I, Rich Moose - Aftershave
  • Post Shave: Nivea - Sensitive - Balm
  • Fragrance: Noble Otter - Hamami - EdP

Today is the Northeast (USA) Wetshavers Meetup, which will be a very small gathering in Albany, NY.

This razor is not at its prime based on how the first pass felt. It was dull and not very efficient. As the shave went on I added more water to the lather (maybe softening up those whiskers just enough?) and things stared to improve. In the end, I got a great shave worthy of being gazed upon by discerning eyes (like anybody actually cares...)

That's great! I was just in MA about an hour away from Albany. I had planned to go to Ohio for today's meetup, but family commitments caused that to fall through for me.

Thank you! My luck with meetups has been terrible. I hope there’s another opportunity.
