Sample part 1 of 3. Another nice shave courtesy of Noble Otter. This didn't have much sent in the sample jar but it really popped out as I lathered. Little water was needed to build gobs of slickness.

Have a good day!

  • Brush: TGS Galaxy 26 mm
  • Razor: Razorine Flatboy 73
  • Blade: Tatra
  • Lather: Chiseled Face - Ghost Town Barber
  • Post-Shave: Zingari Man - The Master recovery splash
  • Passes & Info: 1 pass on both head and neck. A bit milder, but also less efficient. Still a good shave!

Attempt No. 2 with my new brass razor. This time with one of the new blades. I can already tell that these aren't as sharp as the BICs, but I think I should scale back the new variables to familiarise myself with the razor - even though all the new stuff is so tempting.

One weeper from yesterday was re-opened, otherwise it was a rather mild shave. The blades don't tug, not even on the rather hard stubble on my neck, which is good.

As I wanted to try out my new ZM aftershave, I thought GTB would fit nicely - and it even exceeded my expectations. Definitely a winning combo, as the spicy gunpowder notes of GTB fit nicely with the spices of The Master. It also left my skin feeling really good, something I always appreciate about great wetshaving products.

My only day off this week and I spent it as a laundry day and lazing around for recovery. Tomorrow it's back to the grind until Monday. Hopefully times will be less stressful soon - had a bit of anxiety today.
