Ramblin' Man is nice on this Friday.

Mine's a tale that can't be told, my freedom I hold dear
How years ago in days of old, when magic filled the air
'Twas in the darkest depths of Mordor, I met a girl so fair
But Gollum and the Evil One crept up and slipped away with her, her, her, yeah
Ah, there's nothing I can do now
I guess I'll keep on Ramblin' ...

Have a good one.

  • Brush: Dogwood Handcrafts - w/Maggard SHD 30mm Badger
  • Razor: Puma 76 - Solingen - 13/16 Half Hollow (2)
  • Lather: Southern Witchcrafts - Tres Matres - Soap
  • Post Shave: Southern Witchcrafts - Incorporeal - Toner
  • Fragrance: Berceuse Parfum - Minneapolis 5.3 - EdP

Welp that was interesting. The last time I used this razor it was fresh off the stones and I swore I messed something up. This time it was excellent. I've never had a bad shave with Southern Witchcrafts, so I give all credit to the lather!

I've decided to teach myself how to strop using my left hand. My right thumb can get a bit bothered by the work of stropping due to a long-lasting injury that's just sort of annoying, so I'd like to avoid using that hand.

  • Prep: Warm water
  • Brush: West Coast Shaving Synthetic
  • Razor: RazoRock Game Changer .84 closed comb
  • Blade: Bolzano Superinox (1)
  • Lather: Mike's Naturals Unscented Shave Soap
  • Alum: Stirling Travel Size Alum
  • Serum: Ash Hopper Blueberry Serum
  • Lotion: Humble Bee Botanicals Calendulove Face Cream
  • Fragrance: Stirling Hipster EdT

2x WTG, 1x XTG. Comfortably close shave. Maybe I don't have a lanolin sensitivity, because this felt pretty nice. I was cutting down a forest so it took a while. I feel pretty lost as to what exactly it is that my face needs at this point, but using unscented soaps does seems to help.
