  • Brush: Chisel & Hound Gulf Short 26mm V22 Fanchurian
  • Razor: Dovo Art of Shaving 5/8 Hollow Ground Round Point
  • Razor: Geneva Cutlery 11/16 Hollow Ground Round Point
  • Lather: 345 Soaps - Undercut - Soap
  • Aftershave: 345 Soaps - Undercut - Aftershave
  • Talc: Yardley Classic

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


This shave was a test of two edges. The Geneva Cutlery razor has an edge created from a natural African whetstone (de Endi?, du Hindi?). The Dovo Art of Shaving razor has an edge that was created with a La Petite Blanche coticule.

Because it is a Formula 1 race day (Monaco Gran Prix), I followed my habit of using Undercut for soap and splash.

The edges felt great and produced a great shave!

May 25, 2025 - Happy Towel Day

25.05.2025

  • Brush: AP Shave Co. Snakeskin w/ 26 mm Silksmoke Flattop Fan hybrid
  • Razor: Leaf Thorn
  • Blade: BIC Chrome Platinum
  • Lather: Barrister and Mann - The Full Measure of Man
  • Post-Shave: OAM sensitive skin toner; alverde men aftershave balm

-> 1 pass on the head, 2 on the face. Minor irritation on the face, otherwise a very enjoyable shave.

Had a busy day. Apart from studying, I also cleaned out my old car and put its summer tires in the trunk. Tomorrow it's the final drive with it - I'm leaving it at the dealership and Wednesday I'll pick up my new car! A bit excited, a bit sad. My old car has gone through a lot with me, but sadly it's falling apart and is definitely at the right time for permanent retirement. I'll need to get a rental car tomorrow, I hope they have something small. Don't really need something as big and long like my current old car if I have to be extra careful...

FMoM is such a great tobacco scent. Perhaps it'd be my top spot if HoM Tobacconist wouldn't exist. Still, this one is beautifully dark and comparable to a high quality cigar. I had to work a bit harder than usual to get a great lather and had to redo it for the face shave, but I chalk this up to nerves - still, it was as great as can be. While I liked the other B&M bases I tried so far (thanks to PIFs and generous samples), Omnibus is really high quality. Especially noticeable on head shaves, where one needs good residual slickness for an even result.

Hope everyone had a nice weekend. 👍🏻
