I've been really enjoying this bottle of Falling Into the Sea that I picked up recently. A really beautiful summertime frag. A great shave today with a favorite razor and a fun scent in Catie's Bubbles cream base.
June 13 2023
Brush: Zenith MOAR BOAR
Razor: Muhle Rocca R95
Blade: Derby Premium (2)
Lather: Stirling - Vanilla Sandalwood
Post Shave: Stirling - Sandalwood splash
Fragrance: D.S. & Durga - Radio Bombay
Stirling and MOAR BOAR is such a great combination, I got an easy lather from this endless tub. I had a much better shave with the Rocca than I did last time, which confirms that the bad shave must have been a fluke. Good to know I'm not losing my touch.
I got assigned to an annoying workflow so I'm going to do the bare-ass minimum today

One shave left and I’ll be done with this tub of Nordost. Feels good.
June 14 2023
Brush: Omega 11137 boar
Razor: Muhle Rocca R95
Blade: Derby Premium (3)
Lather: Stirling - Barrister and Mann - Famine
Post Shave: Stirling - Catie's Bubbles - Blugere
Fragrance: Tom Ford - Ebene Fume
I really enjoyed the scent of Famine this morning and I wish I had picked up a set of one of the Four Horsemen series when they went on clearance; I bet this smells really nice in splash form, but also because I'm almost done my only full tub of Omnibus. Oh well.
June 19 2023 - Au Revoir Nordost
Tub kill! Third of the year for me. Omnibus goes fast (relatively speaking, I bought this tub in January 2022)...this tub was hurried along by my use of a soap hungry 30mm Declaration knot, but I still feel like the amount of shaves I got from this tub would have barely been a dent in a Reserve base tub. I'm not complaining, though it may sound like it, as now I have justification to pick up something new. And the Nordost splash will join my small collection of splashes that have outlived their soaps.

Today is my daughter’s last day of kindergarten, going to pick her up from school and take her out to lunch to celebrate. A fine shave this morning with some fine gear.

Leaving to get on the boat in a few hours. This tub of Barnegat Bay is my trusty travel shave companion, along with the quick-to-dry synthetic knot.
June 15 2023
Brush: Zenith MOAR BOAR (31mm)
Razor: Gillette Sheraton
Blade: Derby Premium (4)
Lather: Stirling - Red House Farm - Prairie Dog
Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Mood Indigo
Fragrance: House of Mammoth - Mood Indigo
Very few soaps I have can match Prairie Dog for how great my face feels after using it. And the scent is really calming. For some reason I have off work tomorrow, and not Monday when the actual holiday is. Strange but I'm not complaining.

Back from vacation, we all had a good time and no flight fuckery so that was nice. Good to be reunited with the whole den and what better way to celebrate that than with a full Sonder shave.

Varen. It’s what’s for dinner.
June 17 2023
I got a little distracted from my Nordost kill so back at it today. Almost there.
June 22 2023
I probably should have saved this potent combo for a day when I’m in the office and have a 40 minute drive to enjoy it by myself, and not a day where my wife walks into the bathroom and asks what stinks. Live and learn. We’re headed to Miami tomorrow morning for a short cruise so tonight is packing up my trusty Catie’s Bubbles sample tub of Barnegat Bay.
June 12 2023
Brush: Dogclaration B9A (30mm)
Razor: Gillette Super Speed
Blade: Derby Premium (1)
Lather: Barrister and Mann - Nordost
Post Shave: Barrister and Mann - Nordost splash
Fragrance: Noble Otter - Monoi de Tahiti
Hello everyone, good to see some familiar faces usernames here. This is my first time posting here so apologies in advance if the formatting is botched/I quadruple post/any other shenanigans.
On to the shave, this giant and dense knot continues to destroy this soap; it's funny that this has become my go-to soap killing brush, moreso than MOAR BOAR, which seems reasonable in comparison. Nordost is a great scent but I look forward to replacing it with something new once this tub is gone. Been eyeballing Catie's Bubbles sandalwood soap recently and may not be able to resist temptation much longer.

Greetings from a bar in Miami Beach where I have decamped to drink a martini and escape the heat. Early-ass shave this morning so we could get to the airport for our 8 AM flight before we embark on our cruise tomorrow. Hope everyone is having a great Friday.
