August 1, 2024 -- Austerity Begins

  • Brush: Zenith r/Wetshaving 31mm x 57mm Moar Boar

  • Razor: J.A. Henckels Friodur 14 Full Hollow Square Point

  • Lather: Chicago Grooming - AG 1889 - Soap

  • Toner: Thayers - Lavender - Toner

  • Aftershave: Chicago Grooming - AG 1889 - Aftershave

  • Fragrance: Guerlain - Jicky - Eau de Toilette

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave. $headless $FriodomRiders


Finally! No more sleepness nights weighing the pros and cons of different setups for the morning's shave. And now I can take a vacation from the monotonous back and forth of stropping.

Vida did such a great job on AG 1889 (a nod to Guerlain Jicky) with its wonderful Darkwing base, that I feel a little guilty for using it in a month that we call Austere. I'll get over it. Wondeful shave today with AG 1889, the MOAR BOAR, and the Frio 14.

Edit: I forgot. I made a video of honing the Frio 14 to prepare it for this month.

A month of AG 1889 will be very nice.
