  • Brush: Stirling 24mm Synthetic
  • Blade: Personna GEM PTFE (1)
  • Lather: Barrister & Mann - Vespers - Soap
  • Post Shave: Old Spice - Original - Aftershave
  • Post Shave: Goodfellow & Co. - Face Lotion - Kelp & Sea Mineral

Great travel shave. I'm glad to have discovered this likely already-known trick of traveling with a Micromatic and turning the blade around for suitcase safety.

That is a good trick. I honestly don’t think safety razors have been much improved since the Micromatic. @djundjila@sub.wetshaving.social and I often comment about the elegance of the MMOC’s TTO mechanism and the shaving benefits of a razor design that rewards good technique.

  • Brush: Zenith/Stirling - 510SE-XL 31mm boar
  • Razor: Chiseled Face - Titanium Legacy Razor
  • Blade: Personna - Lab Blue (4)
  • Lather: Catie's Bubbles - Top of the World
  • Post Shave: Barrister and Mann - Lavanille Aftershave splash
  • Post Shave: Stirling - Glacial Unscented Aftershave balm

Continuing my smush tour with TotW. It's a nice mild fougere.

Some friends gifted me a full bottle of Égoïste last night for my birthday, which I'm very excited about. I really love this warm, spicy scent, which paired quite nicely with Lavanille.

Have a great Saturday, all!
