    • Brush: Stirling Soap Co. Zenith Boar Brush 31mm × 50mm
    • Razor: Schick Repeating Razor Type B
    • Blade: Personna Injector
    • Lather: Stirling Soap Co. Varen
    • Aftershave: Stirling Soap Co. Varen
    • Fragrance: The Scottish Fine Soaps Company Vetiver & Sandalwood

    The ring of death is growing much faster than I'd have thought. This tub might be done rather sooner than later.

    I haven't run any challenge on the portal since Austere August. Just to make sure nothing broke before u/tsrblke's MMarch24 I'm running the test portal to pick up on #PracticeMMarch24. If you can spare a few characters in your SOTD and add a little #PracticeMMarch24 to help with testing, you're the 🐐.

    • Brush: Stirling Soap Co. Zenith Boar Brush 31mm × 50mm
    • Razor: Zwilling J. A. Henckels Friodur 14 (8/8", extra hollow ground, stainless steel)  
    • Lather: Stirling Soap Co. Varen
    • Aftershave: Mühle Aloe Vera Rasurlotion 

    The big Frio 14 is just a wonderful razor. I'm enjoying many of my straights, but there's something about this one that they just can't replicate. It's maybe the combination of heft and extra fine grind that gives this feeling of gentle control.  The splash was my go to post shave in my early days in this hobby, and it felt good using it again.

    • Brush: Stirling Soap Co. Zenith Boar Brush 31mm × 50mm
    • Razor: Zwilling J. A. Henckels Friodur Unnumbered 8/8" ( hollow ground, stainless steel, round point)
    • Lather: Stirling Soap Co. Varen
    • Aftershave: Sir Irisch Moos

    This one's bigger than yesterday's big Frio 14, but it feels just as gentle. These more modern unnumbered Friodurs tend to have a bad reputation in certain forums, but I can't see why. Other than the joyless straight-lined design, it's just wonderful.

    Today I'm actually using an MM24 for my #PracticeMMarch24 post. It's always a pleasure to use u/EldrormR's little Frankenrazor.

    Back-to-work stage of grief

    Oops, almost forgot to post my SOTD.

    Very nice shave this morning with the MM24 and Varen. The ring of death is growing, but I won't finish this tub before the end of Stirling February

    Ski break is over and today was my first day back at work. I want looking forward to it at all, but it turned out to be nice to see the colleagues again. Work +-;

    MM24 ++; (#PracticeMMarch24)
    Varen ++;
