November 4th, 2025: Sneaked a shave in

  • Brush: Maggard Razors - Tuxedo 24mm Synthetic
  • Razor: RazoRock GOAT
  • Blade: Zorrik Super Platinum (6)
  • Lather: House of Mammoth - You & I (Will Die) - Soap
  • Post Shave: Australian Private Reserve - Raconteur - Aftershave

Welp, after planning on ending my 5+ year streak of daily shaves due to plumbing work being done at our house, it turns out I was able to get a nice hot shower and a nice relaxing shave. Our well was chlorine shocked yesterday, but I was able to run enough water to dilute it to levels that won't melt your eyeballs out!

I'll be able to shave tomorrow, too... but it'll be a cold water shave since they'll be starting work to replace the boiler.

You & I Will Die is really good. I don't like the name, but I love the scent.

I've been preferring cold water shaves recently. I find it's kinder to my skin, for whatever reason.

I've noticed something similar, but warmth always wins.
