Shave 61 of the brain bowl
April 8th, 2026
Maaaaaannnnnn what an enjoyable shave.
This razor came back from its vacation to California, and I've been missing it! @snooting@wetshav.ing wasn't the biggest fan of the razor which just goes to show faces are different. I wanted to see the state it was in without doing any chromium oxide or honing, so I stropped it 100x. It felt great! I got a nice, close shave. I love how silent it is compared to hollow ground razors. I love the soft feel of the steel. I got a bit too steep with the angle in a couple of spots but came out clean.
Tres Matres -- holy moly. I've had a sample of this soap before and loved it but never jumped on a tub. Snooting offered to send this my way along with the aftershave and oh boy, how I've missed this brand. The scents are so unique and the soap base is incredible.
I loved every second of this shave.
I'm glad they made their way to you, enjoy! π»

Definitely get a little tingle from MotI, looks like I'll need to move this one along as well.

The short razor is quite nice. The belly feels different than a regular hollow ground. I don't really like the how the alum block makes my skin feels very tight. The aftershave balm doesn't seem to be able to remove that feeling.
I don't often use alum anymore, but when I did, I would always rinse it off before applying aftershave or balm.
I already did that unfortunately.
Moose ... Wednesday? Why not?
Have a good one.
