A Starry Shave
Shave of the Night
10/26/2024

In the spirit of Van Gogh, this evening's ritual is a masterpiece of artistry and innovation. The Barbaros & Rocnel Black Adjustable, a unique collaboration forged in black titanium nitride, provides the perfect canvas for a close and comfortable shave. The Arno Halberd, adorned with a swirling 'Starry Night' motif, whips the 'Brilliantly Broke Man' soap into a rich lather, its vibrant scent a symphony of mint, cedar, and vanilla. As the Zaza blade glides effortlessly, I imagine Van Gogh himself, gazing upon his masterpiece with a freshly shaven face, ready to embrace the day with renewed brilliance.

Razor: Barbaros & Rocnel Adjustable with black titanium nitride coating
Blade: Zaza Super Stainless
Brush: Arno Halberd Titanium Starry Night with A4 knot
Soap: Hendrix Brilliantly Broken Man
AS: Hendrix Brilliantly Broken Man

Luxury Lunar Lather
Shave of the Night
10/27/2024

From a lunar outpost, gazing at Earth's rising crescent, this shave transcends the ordinary. The Damtanium Cx-Orion, forged in celestial fire, meets the soothing embrace of epsilon's Blue Mediterranean. A symphony of patchouli, cedar, and mint awakens the senses, preparing me for a journey beyond the stars.

Razor: Carbon Shaving Cx-Orion, a Damantium (grade 3 and 5 titanium forge welded damascus-like composite) work of art. Instead of serial numbers, Carbon Shaving uses constellation names for the Damtanium razors.
Blade: Apache Titanium
Brush: Carbon Shaving Damtanium
Soap: epsilon 01 (Blue Mediterranean)
AS: epsilon 01 (Blue Mediterranean)
Balm: epsilon 01 (Blue Mediterranean)
