Mon 09 Sep 2024 – Clean Dirt

  • Brush: Semogue Owner's Club (cherry wood and boar) (40)
  • Razor: Zwilling J. A. Henckels Friodur 17 (NOS, 7/8", hollow ground, stainless steel)
  • Lather: Declaration Grooming – Dirtyver
  • Post Shave: Saponificio Varesino – Desert Vetiver
  • Fragrance: Terre d'Hermès – Eau Intense Vétiver

Wonderful early morning shave with clean-vetiver Dirtyver and Eau Intense Vétiver (and its dupe, Desert Vetiver). The heavy 17 is a great razor I'm thoroughly enjoying using it daily.

Vetiver++

I say that even after using a vetiver scent for all of August.

  • Brush: Maggard 24mm Synthetic
  • Razor: Wolfman Guerilla (Gen 1)
  • Blade: Bolzano Superinox (German) (2)
  • Lather: House of Mammoth - Tobacconist - Soap
  • Post Shave: Chatillon Lux - Admiral - Aftershave

Enjoyable. There is so little soap left in this tub, but since it's a few years old and sorta hard, it doesn't make much of a dent even when I load load load. Still, I can see some progress.
