October 1st, 2025: Rocktober

  • Brush: Wolf Whiskers - "Gianmaria" w/Maggard 26mm Synthetic
  • Razor: Union Razor Cutlery 5/8 Full Hollow (12)
  • Lather: Fanzine Saponifications - Caravaggio - Soap
  • Post Shave: Noble Otter - The Night Before - Aftershave
  • Post Shave: Nivea - Sensitive - Balm

Pretty rough shave with this razor. Stropped it a bunch, but stropping didn't really have the same effect as it did on the razor I used yesterday.

The lather was key in saving my skin from total destruction. Fanzine Saponifications makes great soap.
