Yeah, I also have a saved search for Iberia razors on the bay, but everything so far was way outside my budget

• Brush: Mühle Purist (21 mm silvertip badger, ebonite handle)
• Razor: Schick Repeating Razor Type B
• Blade: Personna Injector Blade
• Lather: House of Mammoth – Mood Indigo
• Post Shave: Chicago Grooming Co. / House of Mammoth – Armonía

I may start coming around to this brush. Yes, it's tiny, yes it feels empty in the face, but it lathers easily, and has great flow-through (duh). I haven't had a single bad lather with it yet. It may be the Henson Al13 of brushes for me in that it is very functional and that I feel like a dick criticising it because it's objectively fine.

Mindigo ++;
Armonía ++;
Repeater ++;

[it's one of the few German words that made it into French and back again]

I've had a my fair share of this during the first couple uses with the Böker Abalone. Yet another lovely razor with thorn, like a rose :)

⚜ Ouh là là! Mon 11 Nov 2024 ⚜

• Brush: Mühle Purist (21 mm silvertip badger, ebonite handle)
• Razor: Schick Repeating Razor Type B
• Blade: Personna Injector Blade
• Lather: Spearhead Shaving Company – Seaforth! Fleur de France
• Post Shave: Spearhead Shaving Company – Seaforth! Fleur de France
• Fragrance: Spearhead Shaving Company – Seaforth! Fleur de France

Fleur de France is such an odd-ball. Half a Fougère (missing the green) on one hand, and powerful musk on the other. At first sniff, you brace for a stanky animalistic scent, and instead it's clean smelling. I love it. Getting a backup set of this discontinued scent was the right decision.

Pointy points +-; 😄

Glad you like the 14er and thanks for the video!

• Brush: Mühle Purist (21 mm silvertip badger, ebonite handle)
• Razor: Schick Repeating Razor Type C
• Blade: Schick Injector Blade
• Lather: Saponificio Varesino - Desert Vetiver
• Post Shave: Saponificio Varesino - Desert Vetiver

Again, this tiny empty brush lathered ok, but sparked very little joy.

Desert Vetiver ++;

I know what you mean. My other badgers are 27mm (Zenith), 28mm (dogclaration) and 30mm (Moar Badger) and it's a different story.

I have a 24mm Dec B3 waiting for me at Eldrormr's, and I'm curious about that. I think I would like a small denser knot like a B3 or a Maggards silvertip, but this sparse tiny knot is a not yet acquired taste 😅

• Brush: Dogwood Handcrafts Tabak Oridjinal, now with 28 mm Gelousy knot
• Razor: Weck Sextoblade Med Prep
• Lather: Mäurer & Wirtz – Tabac Original
• Post Shave: Mäurer & Wirtz – Tabac Original
• Fragrance: Mäurer & Wirtz – Tabac Original

Early morning Stank Weckoning before a busy Saturday. I have family with little kids incoming, so this was my calm before the storm.

The way I see it you have two options:

1. bitch about Reddit and its enshittification while doing nothing to help the situation
2. help build and grow a welcoming alternative.

There is no rule that the community and Reddit have to be a package deal

Mon 23 Sep 2024: Sweet Fall 🍂

• Brush: Semogue Owner's Club (cherry wood and boar) (53)
• Razor: Zwilling J. A. Henckels Friodur 17 (NOS, 7/8", hollow ground, stainless steel)
• Lather: Southern Witchcrafts – Autumn Ash
• Post Shave: Southern Witchcrafts – Autumn Ash
• Fragrance: Southern Witchcrafts – Autumn Ash

@PorkButtsNTaters666@sub.wetshaving.social brought out the Ash yesterday and sparked a little crisis/opportunity moment in me. On the one hand "oh, fuck, summer is over, we're past the equinox, let's check the vitamin D reserves", on the other: Autumn Ash 🎉 !

Today, I'm mouthwateringly sweet, spicy, and smoky. I love the SW base, and I'm looking forward to more of it now that it's SW season again.

Yayy, winner++;

I'm not pinging DaveWave94 because sahenders already knows his deets.
