The Clog-Pruf sure is great. The first couple of passes I kept thinking man, this is smooth. No weepers, super nice. Then, of course, the 3rd pass introduced 3 or 4 weepers. Go figure.
Still an excellent shave.
No weepers, super nice.
This thought is a reliable magical incantation provoking weapers

Only a few more weeks of continuous use until it’s gone!
I’ve been loading it like it owes me money, so hopefully that’s not the case lol

- Brush: MRED/Le Père Lucien 26mm Badger
- Razor: River Razors Kamisori (2)
- Lather: Martin de Candre Absinthe
- Postshave: Naissance 702 Witch Hazel
- Postshave: Epsilon Blue Mediterranean
- Postshave: Nivea After Shave Balm
I brought back the River Razors kamisori, and I got a very close shave with it today (the extremely slick Martin de Candre base certainly helped). I will bring it back into my regular rotation (after the accident)! Absinthe is a nice and unobtrusive scent – nothing to write home about, but good and fresh. And the badger brush is also a very good experience - the only issue is that it fits only with difficulty into my mug for getting more water.
Have a good day!

Call me what you willSomething New Sunday. If I remember correctly, Stirling described this scent as inspired by Anthony Bourdain. I added in 7 Doubloons for a dash of pirate.
Have a great day!
Destination Unknown is a dupe of Versace Eros. I also have this one and really enjoy it.

Another close shave, though not quite as good as yesterday’s.
The weekend really isn’t long enough. I want a three-day weekend every week.
For years we had a 9/80 schedule at work (every other Friday off). It was magnificent… 26 Fridays off every year. Then I realized I had 26 short weekends each year. Current job, I scored a 4/10 schedule (every Friday off). Mondays still suck. :)
Yeah, I think really what I want is to be retired or otherwise financially independent.
