    2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave. $headless $FriodomRiders

    Love this soap and splash. I feel that its freshness counters the oppressive heat we’re having. Yesterday was the first time that I used a straight razor and did not strop it after the shave. (I only strop after a shave, not before.) I plan to continue without stropping for this entire month. I’m expecting that I will notice an edge difference somewhere around 12 shaves. That’s where I notice a DE blade beginning to go off. I may need to add a third pass at that point.

      That’s a very good looking setup for the month. Varen won’t be much of a sacrifice, nor will the Drakkant. The knot will be what it is, of course; a work in progress for as many shaves as it takes to become comfortable. Love the handle on that Zenith!

        Thank you! No, so far it’s not been much of a sacrifice to use Varen and the Drakkant. The brush is still at full stank, but eventually that will go away too.

    Day 2/31 of Looking for Serenity in Austerity

    • Brush: Semogue Owner’s Club (cherry wood and boar) (2)
    • Razor: Zwilling J. A. Henckels Friodur 50 (7/8", hollow ground, stainless steel, masonic deco) (2)
    • Lather: Spearhead Shaving Company – Seaforth! Roman Spice
    • Post Shave: Spearhead Shaving Company – Seaforth! Roman Spice
    • Fragrance: Spearhead Shaving Company – Seaforth! Roman Spice

    Oops, didn’t have time to hone tonight, so another tuggy shave for me. That’s the price of being ill prepared for an AA challenge during a family vacation, I guess 😅.

    The SOC still has a lot of backbone, and just eats lather up. But the tips are soft, so I see no major obstacle to a smooth bit of RawHogginy, and I have all the soap and patience required to break this pretty brush in.
