Brush: Zenith B40 28mm Boar
Razor: Böker 14er 8/8" Full Hollow
Lather: Catie's Bubbles - Blugère - Soap
Aftershave: Catie's Bubbles - Blugère - Aftershave
2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
Wow! Amazing shave today. Blugère is always great and the coticule edge on this Böker is sharp and very comfortable.

That makes 2 of us who didn't use Blugère today (so far).
For real, Blugère is out in force today!

Not only do these blades last a long time, they also shave really well. At least according to the first shave...
Continuing the tub kill with Caoba. What a great, easy, woody scent.
The Era is one of my all time favorites, and I usually use the 3 plate. The 4 worked really well, too. Not as buttery smooth feeling as the 3, but a nice close shave.

Blugère is definitely a desert island scent. Incredible!
Happy Friday!
Blugère++;
Love the Wald Haunter! I have one as well.
Blugère buddies 🍻
Cheers 🍻
I finally got to try the much hyped Blugère in its full trickhole glory, but I tweaked my back and was too distracted by pain to really enjoy it 🙄
Sorry to hear about your back!
It was Blugère Bubbles for me today as well!
In the same boat currently, welcome to Snap City. Here's to hoping our backs will be back in order soon enough 🍻
🍻
Oh man, I hope you get back from this quickly, this sucks. Can't even play with my kid 😮💨
Sorry about your back 😣
Thanks man!
Ah man, I hope your back feels better soon.
Thanks man!
