May 28, 2024 – DE Dienstag  

• Brush: AP Shave Co Synthetic  
• Razor: Karve CB  
• Blade: Dorco Titan (2)  
• Lather: Noble Otter – Neon Sun  
• Post Shave: Noble Otter – Neon Sun  
• Fragrance: Jean Paul Gaultier – Scandal  

Gent or Neon Sun? A difficult choice for a day with lots of meetings in the office. But this evening, I ll try to write the choreography for our wedding dance (or play magic if friends make it in time). While I write the dance, I can listen to my synthwave stuff, so neon sun is the choice of the day. I want to highlight the aftershave. My face feels soft like baby skin. The blade will barely make it to a third use. I ll take a look how much irritations it left.

• Brush: Dogwood / DG B14 Mammoth yellow label release  
• Razor: Koraat – Purist  
• Lather: Barrister and Mann – Marylin  
• Post Shave: Barrister and Mann – Marylin  
• Fragrance: Barrister and Mann – Marylin  

Date night today at an Italian restaurant and exactly 3 months till our civil wedding. Marylin seems appropriate for that occasion. The Koraat amazed me again. Just looking at it is fascinating. In comparison to my Böker, the line where the apex is visible, is so small, that I couldn’t even say a word about a scratch pattern. Usually, I am hesitant to use the Koraat, because I am afraid to hone it. As I get better and better on my other razors, I will use the Koraat more.

• Brush: Dogwood / DG B14 Mammoth yellow label release  
• Razor: Böker Elite Carbon 2.0  
• Lather: Barrister and Mann – Oceana  
• Post Shave: Summer Break Soaps – Bell Ringer  
• Fragrance: Jean Paul Gaultier – Scandal  

As I am on a birthday party today, I won’t go on theme. Instead I am choosing something for the good weather. It was surprising to see how little soap there is left. I guess I ll push through and get my 11th(?) kill. Lathering wasn’t easy with the brush, but I wanted to feel these cloud like tips again.

• Brush: r/wetshaving Zentih MOAR BOAR 31mm  
• Razor: Custom designed Böker 6/8 with bog oak scale and French head  
• Lather: Barrister and Mann – Oceana  
• Post Shave: Summer Break Soaps – Bell Ringer  
• Fragrance: Davidoff – Adventure  

As there is not much Oceana left, I want to push through and finish the tub. Lathering was difficult. I also had so little stubble that I thought about the antithesis to the air bud rule. What if I use a razor, but don’t cut any hair? Am I still shaving? How do we name it? The Indiana Jones rule?

As my fiance took a day off I ll follow a German proverb about our public sector that goes like: At 1 pn, to each their own.
