Fragrance for the day
Penhaligon's Douro EDC

Rating: 9/10
My second shave with this blade and a slight improvement from shave 1 (which was a pretty good shave already).
I was also trying out a sample of Penhaligon's Douro Eau De Cologne for the first time after shaving with vintage Penhaligon's Lords soap. Lords was renamed Douro so the scents are the same, very nice although the staying power of the EDC isn't great.

Journey to 100 blades (journal)

Shave 2 with the Winner Stainless and it felt similar to shave 1. Not as sharp as a true Gillette Stainless blade and it felt a bit rough (scratchy). Todays end result wasn't as good as the previous shave, a bit more irritation, some Alum feedback and a couple of ingrowns made an appearance.

First pass with Panasonic washable beard trimmer
Brush RV Shaving AS3M 25mm STF in Strawberry Amber
Soap Fine Classic Tallow Lavender Pour Homme
Razor Wolfman WR2 1.25 SB / @Rosseforp GTB 14mm x 80mm x 19.2grams

splash Fine Lavender Pour Homme
Frag Czech & Speake Oxford & Cambridge

DFS+ 9.8 no drama

I wanted to use a vintage or adjustable razor, but, with a weeks beard the WR2 1.25 SB is just superior in every way. It had been a week on last Thursday making the WR2 a necessity. I also forgot to soak my brush which meant the need for a synthetic. Regardless today's gear and software was awesome.

MdC Monday



Hello friends

I start the week optimistic, despite the cloudy day. I'm 66 years old, but I feel 65... and a half.

For today, I decided on a green shave, MdC Fougère, Omega Jade and Skin Bracer. For a little excitement, I summoned my little great friend Il Piccolo, with the blade that in my humble opinion is the one that suits him best, Silver Star (2).

With us, at this magnificent event, Wayne Shorter's magical sax.

Have a nice week and great shaves!
