    • Brush: Maggard 24mm SHD Bulb
    • Razor: GEM MM24
    • Blade: Personna GEM PTFE (4)
    • Lather: Chiseled Face - Ghost Town Barber - Soap
    • Post Shave: Chatillon Lux - Nefertiti - Aftershave
    • Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Mood Indigo - Balm
    • Fragrance: Barrister & Mann - Lavender, Interrupted - EdP

    Switched from the Clog-Pruf to the MM24. Weird. I thought I remembered the Clog-Pruf being smoother, but the MM24 felt so much better. I really don’t have enough experience with GEMs to know what the heck is going on, but today’s shave wasn’t so bad.

    🎅 Santa’s Trickhole 🎅

    • Brush: Dogclaration LG 2022 Mystery Brush (B16)
    • Razor: Böker S.S. Paris Wins
    • Lather: Spearhead Shaving Company Seaforth! Spiced
    • Aftershave: Spearhead Shaving Company Seaforth! Spiced
    • Fragrance: Spearhead Shaving Company Seaforth! Spiced

    I planned my shaves before the Theme Thursday themes for December were posted, so I made up my own. Spiced is my quintessential Santa (“Samichlaus”) scent because it smells just like the little jute sacks filled with mandarins and gingerbread we gift on St Nicholas day.

    Very nice early morning shave with (Gingerbread-)Spiced and wonderful hardware.

    SOTD 07.12.2023

    • Prep: head and face wash
    • Razor: Stando Perun
    • Blade: BIC Chrome Platinum
    • Brush: TGS Galaxy 26 mm
    • Lather: Barrister & Mann - Le Grand Chypre
    • Post Shave: Thayer’s Aloe Vera toner; Pacific Shaving Co. Caffeinated ASB

    1 pass shave for both the dome and the face again. Again, a little blood was shed due to bumpy skin - this time behind my right ear. Unfortunately I get bad skin breakouts again this time of the year…

    LGC in Omnibus is awesome as always, but I begin to think that the BIC aren’t my favourite blades anymore. They rarely work that comfortably in any of my newer razors, so I guess the search for a better blade needs to resume.

    First selfie done today, second and third one tomorrow. I actually had tomorrow off, but one of my colleagues/friends got sick and the others would have been massively understaffed. So another early shift tomorrow - who cares, the execs will have to pay me my overtime and leftover vacation time anyways 🤷🏻‍♂️

        I guess you’re right about that. I have about 25 hours of overtime and 8 vacation days, so it won’t be much… But a nice boost to my final payment by them 👍🏻

        Btw, I will try to get to work on the sample on the weekend but I think it’ll take me until next week to ship it. But it’ll be done!
