Post Shave: House of Mammoth - 福 (Fú Dào) - Splash
Fragrance: House of Mammoth - 福 (Fú Dào) - Eau de Parfum
The Lunar New Year started Saturday, so Fú Dào seemed fitting for today's MM shave. It's such an incredible scent, so I went with the full trickhole.
It's been awhile since I've used any SE razor, and I was a little out of practice. One small nick on the neck, but the MM24 gives a great shave. I may need another shave or two with it to get ready for MM(arch)24.

It’s the Mammoth Monday closest to the Lunar New Year, so this seemed like an excellent themed shave today. This is one of my top tier scents, one that I think everyone should give a whirl.

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
Wonderful shave. I enjoy the Cerberus trifecta and was really in the mood for it. Japanese tempering of Swedish steel, and the Japanese attention to detail in this Parker razor did not disappoint. That razor takes a great edge.
This is my second try with the Barbarossa – it still feels a bit awkward, but I'm getting there. The shave itself was nice enough, even though I have the impression that I pay somewhat less attention to what I do than when I'm using a full-length blade – and that might bite me one day. Tomorrow (or Wednesday?) I will try a normal straight, and see how this works in comparison.
The ring of death (certainly one of the rings of power) is increasing in diameter. I have no idea how many shaves are still in this soap, but I would guess that its somewhere between 10 and 20.
