The Fourteenth Day Of Weckoning is upon us - It's Flipping Time

  • Brush: Rubberset 400-3 with a 26 mm unbleached Zenith boar knot at 56 mm loft
  • Razor: Weck Sextoblade Med Prep
  • Blade: Kismet Rostfrei, Polymer beschichtet (20)
  • Lather: Barrister and Mann โ€“ Oceana
  • Post Shave: Ralon โ€“ Original
  • Fragrance: Stirling Soap Co. โ€“ Island Man

I flipped the blade around today to get the presumably less used heel to take over as the new toe, and I felt ๐Ÿฅ๐Ÿฅ๐Ÿฅ๐Ÿฅ no difference. These Kismet blades really hold up well. Wow.

I now have a daily shave inspector. Djunior has started the habit of examining my chin and then to djudge it in one of two categories: 1) "Bisschen katzt" (toddler German for "scratches a little") or 2) "Nein katzt" (toddler German for "does not scratch). It's a bit intimidating.

Come on! You cannot djust say that you got inspected and not tell us the results! What was the rating for today?

Where are my manners!?

I got my shave inspection before the shave yesterday, so it was a clear "bisschen katzt" ๐Ÿ˜
