      2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.

    For this shave I was trying out a new edge on this razor. I created it using a Koma nagura slurry on a Black Arkansas stone. Definitely a unique feel.

    00.00.2024 - Barberwood on the face

    • Prep: warm water
    • Brush: AP Shave Co. Snakeskin handle w/ 26 mm Silksmoke Flattop/Fan hybrid knot
    • Razor: Leaf Thorn
    • Blade: snapped BIC Chrome Platinum
    • Lather: HAGS - Barberwood
    • Post-Shave: HAGS - Barberwood AS toner

    -> 2 pass face shave around the goatee. Two weepers in total, but a very comfortable shave regardless.

    At the time of writing, there was no post in this thread. So it seems to be my duty to avoid a barren thread today!

    The second use of Barberwood, this time on the face… but with better hydrated lather today! I’m still a bit rusty when it comes to face lathering, but it’s getting better. Today’s brush is possibly my favourite for the even spread of lather it can achieve, so that helped a lot.

    This time the soap smelt a bit sweeter, similar to my other HAGS Creatures of the Night . Performance was way better though, the lather was very slick and also hydrated my skin well. The toner continues to impress on the face, as it really feels rich enough that I didn’t feel the need for a balm. Since my skin is sensitive and dry in the jaw area, that’s rare!

    I now have an interesting barbershop scent to compare tomorrow’s BVWSC soap against - really looking forward to tomorrow’s shave!

    Sep 17, 2024 - Tea Tuesday - Silk Roads

    • Brush: Chisel & Hound Fu Dao Flare 26mm v20 Fanchurian Badger Knot
    • Razor: Mühle Rocca R94
    • Blade: Gillette 7 O’Clock Super Stainless (Green) [4]
    • Lather: Noble Otter - 茉莉綠茶 (Jasmine Green Tea) - Soap
    • Post Shave: Noble Otter - Queen - Aftershave
    • Fragrance: Gentleman’s Nod - Musashi - Eau de Parfum

    Tea was one of the many commodities traded along the Silk Routes between the East and the West. Green tea, jasmine, and tonka bean in combination with the royal aroma of sweet honey, floral marigolds, and fragrant jasmine were an excellent pairing.
