I did it. It's done. Set kill.

It was a really great run with one of my favorite scents. I finished the aftershave and tub. Of course the EdP is going strong. The next set is ready to go.

Have a great Labor Day!

7. September 2026

Brush: AP Shave Co. Snakeskin w/ 26 mm Flattop/Fan hybrid knot
Razor: Leaf Thorn
Blade: Derby Premium
Lather: House of Mammoth - Mood Indigo
Post Shave: OAM - Dolce Vita ASB

Single pass on both head and neck, mostly WTG. Comfortable, but not close. But it doesn't need to be right now.

Since my last head shave was with a foil shaver, I kinda had the urge for wetshaving again today. To be absolutely honest, I think I have fallen out of the hobby loop and now just do it to feel good and smell nice. Things that no electric shaver can give me - there's still something special about being able to handle a brush, soap and safety razor.

Indigo is good stuff. There's something that makes smokey blueberries fit very well with September.

Yet another dentist appointment tomorrow, so I feel uneasy yet again. Like everything, this will pass.

Brush: Wald Nimbus Bloodline 27mm J3
Razor: The Cajun Blade CSR1
Blade: Feather Artist Club ProGuard (5)
Lather: The Cajun Blade - The Cutter - Soap
Toner: Thayers - Cucumber - Toner
Aftershave: The Cajun Blade - The Cutter Aftersauce - Aftershave

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.

Today was my very first experience with a shavette that takes Artist Club blades. This was something that I thought would be an "okay" shaving experience, but was very surprised by how much I enjoyed it. To date, I have downplayed these types of razors for new straight razor shavers, but this shave completely changed my mind.
