    Décadi 20 Frimaire an 234 de la Révolution, jour d’Hoyau

    It’s Tabac Tuesday, but on Wednesday. Very nice shave, I should use both the Koraat and Tabac more often.

    Have a good day!

      Although I don’t use Tabac as much as I should, any day is a Tabac Day. And, the combination of Tabac and a Koraat 14-2.0 can’t be beat!

    MERShaving from yesterday hung with me most of the day. I checked out their Etsy page and they’ve been away since 2024. It’s a really nice soap; hopefully, they’ll come back.

    Adventus Day 5

    Today’s satchel was filled with Stirling goodies. The lather for today is Stirling Spice in their beef tallow base. Scent strength was a medium with a nice level of Spice.

    I also got two bath soap samples (Executive Man and Stirling Gentleman).

    Have a good day!

    • Blade: Accuforge GEM Microcoat (3)

    Still learning the Sabre. If I’m not careful this thing certainly bites. Super close shave though, and 3 Scots into Égoïste is a great combination.

    • Brush: Grizzly Bay Shire 26mm V18 Fanchurian
    • Razor: GEM MMOC Gold Gen2
    • Blade: Personna Gem PTFE (4)
    • Lather: The Cajun Blade - Let’er Buck - Soap
    • Toner: Thayers - Coconut - Toner
    • Aftershave: The Cajun Blade - Let’er Buck Aftersauce - Aftershave

    2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.

    I wanted to use the MMOC today so I could compare it to the Streamline that I used yesterday. I was surprised at how easy the MMOC is to use in comparison. The Streamline kept my attention on the edge in a way similar to a straight razor. The MMOC seems more forgiving with the range of “not cutting” and “cutting too much”. This does not mean that I don’t want a Streamline :)

    This was my first use of Let’er Buck. It has a very complex scent profile and a fragrance that is supposed to celebrate the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas. I thought it would probably smell like horse or bull, but instead, Eric has tried to capture the aroma of the “occasion”. It is a mix of bourbon, leather, tobacco, spice, and some other things that give it an earthy feel as well. The soap base is outstanding.

      Very interesting! I find both of those razors very usable despite my general preference for mild razors. I’ve never considered the Streamline/Jewel to have a lot of blade feel, so it’s interesting to hear that opinion!

        I was surprised too. That’s how it came across to me. Now that I’ve used the MMOC, I’ll go back and compare the Streamline to it.

    • Brush: Wolf Whiskers - “Gianmaria” w/Maggard 26mm Synthetic
    • Razor: Wolfman Guerilla - Gen 1
    • Blade: Personna GEM Platinum Diamond Glide Double Edge (3)
    • Lather: Chiseled Face - Ghost Town Barber - Soap
    • Post Shave: Chatillon Lux - Admiral - Aftershave
    • Post Shave: Zingari Man - The Stargazer - Aftershave Serum

    Very excellent. In my experience this razor works well with all of my favorite blades, and this one is no exception.

    I love the CFG base. Sure it can be a little poofy if you’re not careful, but when you know you know.
