1 pass WTG. Very comfortable. A socially acceptable shave.
In hindsight I used WAY too much soap, maybe 10x what I needed. Still getting used to loading different soap consistencies using different brushes… And this soap is nuts! Super different from what I have used before, so far I like it a lot a lot. The scent is intriguing, hard to describe. Very nice. My face feels awesome, if a little dried by my overuse of the soap.
32nd Birthday Shave - 1. March 2026
- Brush: Omega Roma Colossea 31 mm
- Razor: Razorock Cyber Medium w/ 316L Bamboo handle
- Blade: BIC Chrome Platinum
- Lather: Declaration Grooming - Cuir et Épices
- Post Shave: Störtebekker - Tortuga aftershave tonic spray
- Fragrance: Tom Ford - Tuscan Leather EdP
One pass on both the dome and the neck. Reopened some spots from yesterday, but still a really comfortable shave!
So today I turned 32. I am now fully arrived in my thirties. There sure are some things I’d like to change and improve, but I guess I am on a rather solid path right now. Thanks to my parents, I didn’t had to spend the day alone. I had a quiet, relaxed b-day in their company plus the two dogs. It was also great sunny weather for a nice long dog walk, perfect for a slow Sunday. This shave was a nice finish to this smooth day.
What can I say, I really like leather scents. Cuir et Epices is a really warm, smooth leather scent. Reminiscent of a good leather jacket or furniture. It has a very comfy vibe IMHO and that’s perfect for the occasion. The Tortuga AS spray was fitting nicely with the spices in it and brought some mild menthol chill with it. As for the Cyber Medium, it’s hard to get hurt with this razor as it’s kinda like the Henson but without marketing buzz. I think it’s interesting how these razors achieve an GEM-like feel (holding the safety bar flat to my skin) with a DE just by a very sharply angled head geometry. Basically, this is a razor I could use while I am sick, mildly intoxicated or otherwise impaired - works on autopilot. The result is always a smooth dome.
Hope everyone had a great weekend. Unfortunately I have to prep for yet another early shift now…

March Madness! I pick Chiseled Face Groomatorium, but I only support their tallow base.
Ghost Town Barber is a really nice scent. I had a really slick shave this morning.
Yay! No more ASS score table! Have a good one.

The r/wetshaving March Madness event is always a good time. The only thing I don’t like is that I can only vote for one brand on each of the competition days. They’re all so good, I want them all to win!
Today my vote is with CGC. Caoba is a comforting woody scent, and the Darkwing base performed excellently as always.
CGC++;
Too good to be number 16 on the list.
I agree 100%.
