Aug. 29, 2021 - MMOC day 29... and birthday!

GEMsOfWisdom

Another day, another good shave. Water up here definitely makes a difference - the soap seems to lather even easier than usual and explodes with more lather than usual - by the looks of it that is, since I don't really measure it properly.

3 passes and bit of tidying up on the neck for BBS. Birthday BBS - First birthday shave since I started wetshaving... shame it wasn't too exciting - same setup as since beginning of August. Blade performed well enough - slight tugging here and there when going ATG but it's more than bearable - definitely still better than GEM side. I'm guessing I could potentially get about 10 more shaves without having to strop it... but you never know! 29 shaves in but still dealing well enough with my hair.

Aftershave brought slight bit of stinging probably due to having to buff out some places. But all is good.

Been around department stores today and had a good sniff at some perfumes. Creed, Parfum the marly, Initio.... all are great though! Love the Creed original Vetiver as well as Erolfa. PDM I actually like their Layton, Herod, Pegasus and Carlisle. Initio oud for greatness is another awesome one... Same as absolute aphrodisiac and blessed baraka. Ugh the fragrance world opened the door and it's another rabbit hole! Hate it but love it at the same time! Really need to get some samples in seeing as near where I live there's no department stores where I could try some of this stuff...

Now time for some birthday drinks I guess!

Enjoy your shaves Ladies and Gentlemen!

Few days off the forums while I shut down social media and spent the week with the kids before they return to school! Back with a nice setup today - I rather like the Savage and its simplistic scent. TFS back for another use after its extended run with the Bart's samples.

Stirling Sept soap too! Lovely scent, creamy and slick lather...just wonderful!
Wonderful shave with the razor paired with this blade too. 3 smooth and comfortable passes for a mostly bbs finish. The blade is still ok. Aftershaves were awesome too.

Prep: Warm shower
Brush: C&H 'Casanova' Fanchurian
Soap: A&E Barbiere Sofisticato
Razor: Blackland Blackbird
Blade: Dorco Titan (1)
Post: Cold Water and A&E Barbiere Sofisticato

Straight forward shave this morning, it's been a while so thought I'd revisit the titan, not bad, not great, but we'll see how it progresses through use. Good enough finish for home desk work so can't complain.

Hope everyone has a grand day!

Cheers

Marc
