January 3, 2024: Dupesday

  • Preshave: Proraso Green Preshave
  • Brush: Semogue Owner's Club Boar πŸ— 'Taj'
  • Razor: Tedalus Essence
  • Blade: Kai Captain Titan Pink Mild (1)
  • Lather: Stirling Arcadia
  • Post Shave: Osma (Luxury) Alum
  • Post Shave: Terre d'HermΓ¨s After Shave Lotion
  • Post Shave: Nivea After Shave Balm

I don't have any Aventus dupe, so the dupe of Terre d'Hermès will have to do. Heavy sneezing lead to a rather big cut, and I was happy that I hadn't taken out a straight. The Tedalus is a very nice razor, with an excellent balance, that's well worth it's money. I'm not the biggest fan of the magnet closing mechanism - which defeats the injector mechanism of the blade - but it's a joy to use.

Have a good evening!

Gesundheit! Is that Tedalus a recent acquisition? I've been intrigued by it but suspected that it couldn't possibly be worth its price.

[–] PorkButtsNTaters666 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I've had it for over a year I guess, in any case, before I started using straights seriously. The price is high, but it's not so much more expensive than the priciest Feather AC razors.

If you really want to flex, you should check out the Tedalus DE razor 🫰🫰🫰

Yeah, 750 chiefs is more than I've ever considered paying for a razor, safety or otherwise. I guess Tedalus took inspiration from the watch industry πŸ˜…

Maybe with a diamond, they could have gotten over 1000 chiefs πŸ€”

Lol, I think V2 will get there just by switching to titanium or something :D
