November 15, 2023: Witchcraft Wednesday

  • Preshave: Proraso Green Preshave
  • Brush: Zenith 506U XS Horse 🐎
  • Razor: Thiers-Issard 188 7/8 'Coq et Renard'
  • Lather: Southern Witchcraft Autumn Ash
  • Post Shave: Floid The Genuine
  • Post Shave: Nivea After Shave Balm

After the 14.2, a comparison shave with the TI - which feels small and nimble. The shave was smoother than with the Koraat, and my face feels great.

It occurred to me that soap makers like Zingari or Le Père Lucien probably miss out on sales just because they happen not to start with a sound that forms an alliteration with some day of the week. I will probably try to correct this by doing some anti-alliteration action.

Have a good evening!

Lundi Lucien?

And anti alliterative action arguably assuages arbitrary abandonment.

A wetshaver trying to resist the urge to alliterate is just like a wetshaver trying to resist the urge for a new soap 😊

Must really resist repetitive retort...
