Share your shave of the day!
SSL - it’s the next tub closest to kill and I’ve managed to snag a replacement on 20.1 base so a good candidate to bring some summery vibes into autumn.
SSL++;
It was my AA soap two years in a row.
RIP 20.1
Iys probably my favourite scent and certainly one everyone in the family likes.
I overdid it with SSL and after my second AA with it it got vetoed by my wife😅

- Brush: Zenith 506B MB (27 mm × 51 mm Manchurian badger)
- Razor: Filarmónica 14 Doble Temple (8/8, extra full hollow, red scales)
- Lather: Mäurer & Wirtz – Tabac Original
- Post Shave: Mäurer & Wirtz – Tabac Original
- Fragrance: Mäurer & Wirtz – Tabac Original
For today’s edition of running through the 14 section of my den, I chose the venerable Fili 14. It’s really easy to understand why they are so popular.
Big, elegant, soft as a feather, and butter smooth, you can just wipe the stubble of your face. So nice.

- Brush: Maggard 24mm Synthetic
- Razor: Gillette Tech (Z-4)
- Blade: V12 Super Platinum (2)
- Lather: Viking Shaving Soap - Norway - Soap
- Post Shave: Old Spice - Hawkridge - Aftershave
- Post Shave: Harry’s - Aftershave Balm
- Fragrance: Barrister & Mann - Lavender, Interrupted - EdP
I wonder if I reached for this soap knowing it lathers similarly to the soap I used yesterday. Load dry, add water sparingly, and it works great. Norway is interesting enough to keep around, and it’s the only soap I have which prominently features Clove.

- Preshave: Proraso Green Preshave
- Brush: Muninn Woodworks Gloire de France with Zenith 505BC Boar 🐗
- Razor: Ertan Süer L’Ours Russe (7/8th)
- Lather: Southern Witchcraft Autumn Ash
- Postshave: Naissance 702 Witch Hazel
- Postshave: TFS Witch Hazel & Oak
- Postshave: Nivea After Shave Balm
The Russian Bear is now very sharp, but maybe not the most comfortable – but that might also be due to the general bad shape of my face. And I might have a slight reaction to the TFS aftershave (just like to their soap…). Anyways, I would have to test where this generally ok shave did go slightly wrong.
Have a good evening!
