Not bad for a bluesday. This Clog-Pruf is a gentle razor while still being quite efficient. What else could you ask for?
- Glad to see Bleu Man being brought out for Bleu Teusday 😂
  
  It's always an enjoyable shave! :)

Razor: Gillette Ball-End Tech

Jul. 22, 2025
Brush: Zenith MOAR BOAR
Razor: EldrormR Industries MM24
Blade: GEM PTFE (6)
Lather: Stirling Soap Co. - I, Rich Moose (Sub Exclusive Mutton Base) - Puck
Post Shave: Stirling Soap Co. - Unscented - Aftershave
Osma: Osma - Osma
Bowl: Georgetown Pottery - G20
Sub Moos showed up yesterday and I was psyched to try it. The scent is slightly different from Irisch Moos (some have said it’s more like the EdT which I’ve never tried), but truth is I prefer this version of the scent to the original. And the mutton tallow base knocks it out of the park as always—I think it may be my favorite.

Razor: Blackland - Blackbird
Blade: Gillette Silver Blue
Lather: Catie's Bubbles - Crangère - Soap
Post Shave: Catie's Bubbles - Crangère - Aftershave
thanks to u/JoboozeRum for letting me try out this Lite plate. I’m about 85% sure I like this more than the original safety bar, but I’ll keep using it. Happy Tuesday.
July 22nd, 2025: Moarteen
Brush: Ever-Ready - 400 w/Motherload 30mm Synthetic
Razor: Koraat 15/16 Full Hollow - Sub Exclusive 'Moarteen' (16)
Lather: Fanzine Saponifications - Test… Test… 123 - Soap
Post Shave: Pinaud - Clubman Special Reserve - Aftershave
Post Shave: Dove - Men+Care Ultra-Hydra - Cream
Fragrance: Cross/Cut - Warm Woods - EdC
The razor felt tuggy for the first time that I remember. By the 3rd pass, though, things felt great. It's possible that my lather wasn't hydrating the whiskers properly. This is the first batch of Fanzine test soap, and I adore it, but it has a wide range of water options. By the 3rd pass I think I had it dialed in a bit better for this type of shaving.
The results are excellent. Very close, and despite the tugging I didn't get any irritation.
- It would not be unusual for you to start feeling differences in the edge between 15 and 30 shaves. Let me know when you want a Jnat edge on that :)
  
  I may do that after giving it another couple of shaves...

July 22, 2025
Brush: Brad Sears Scotsman XL 28mm Super Badger
Razor: Iwasaki 13/16" Full Hollow Square Point Tamahagane
Lather: Ariana & Evans - Daniele Maullu Legacy - Soap
Toner: Thayers - Cucumber - Toner
Aftershave: Ariana & Evans - Daniele Maullu Legacy - Aftershave
Fragrance: Creed - Royal Oud
Talc: Yardley Gold
2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
The Daniele Maullu set was a gift from one of my YT subscribers. I am very thankful. This was a very kind gesture.
I've heard very good things about this soap base and about the scent that Peter Charkalis created but, honestly, I was concerned that the MdC-inspired glass jar and the large frosted glass aftershave bottle might be more marketing than special bespoke packaging.
For me, the experience was terrific. The lather is rich and creamy, and it is very slick. I think the scent is great. Right up my alley. You can research the notes but, to me, it does come across as described; a barbershop scent with oud. I think it is well blended and feels sophisticated. I'd say, the scent strength is medium in both the soap and splash. I though Royal Oud was a perfect fit to finish this off.
22.07.2025
Brush: AP Shave Co. black & clear handle w/ 30 mm Tuxedo Fan knot
Razor: Ever-Ready 1912 SE
Blade: Personna GEM PTFE
Lather: Chiseled Face - Ghost Town Barber
Post-Shave: Lavera Men sensitive ASB
-> single pass pass on the dome and around the beard.
A really good fast shave. Very comfortable too. GTB is a soap I can always rely on to get things done fast.
Unfortunately the day is overshadowed by Ozzy Osbourne passing away. I always thought he'd be like Mick Jagger and seemingly live forever. RIP Ozzy, you'll be sorely missed. Time to blast some Sabbath...
