  • October 17, 2025 -- Fougère Friday

    • Brush: AP Shave Co Summer 28mm G5C
    • Razor: Thiers Issard Évidé Sonnant 6/8" Extra Hollow
    • Lather: Martin de Candre - Fougère - Soap
    • Toner: Thayers - Cucumber - Toner
    • Aftershave: Fabergé - Brut - Aftershave

    2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.

    I leaned into the fougère today with a mostly-French setup and totally enjoyed it. I loaded the MdC heavily and hydrated it close to soupiness. Wonderful. I was reminded of u/EldrormR's go with the brain bowl and was thinking, "I might do that 🤔". But I won't.

    The OG Fabergé Brut was a great finish to the shave. Nothing more is needed.

    Midday shave here. I'm feeling a slight burn on my face after this shave – hope it is not the soap!

    Have a good day!

    I enjoyed Nag Champa a lot, but it can be cloying. Not to be used if you already have a little headache...

    • Brush: Omega - 10048 28mm Boar
    • Razor: J. Koester's Sons 11/16", full hollow, square point (13)
    • Lather: Fanzine Saponifications - Testing...Testing... - Soap
    • Post Shave: Noble Otter - Lonestar - Aftershave
    • Post Shave: Oleo & Co. - Facial Toner - Toner
    • Fragrance: Spearhead Shaving Company - Seaforth! Leather - EdT

    13th shave without stropping this razor after it was honed. I can tell that the efficiency is dropping off a bit, but it's still cutting well enough. Not sure if I want to continue pushing the edge or give it a good strop before the next go round.

    Lonestar and Leather is a lovely combination. I should pick up the Lonestar frag at some point...

    Have a great Friday y'all!
