Monday 10-6-25
PRE: Cold water slapped on face with hands
RAZOR: Dovo Shavette, bought at Ems Place because the long-blade Black insert was available as an option even though DOVO stopped making it, as well as a pack of Hercules Long-blades, and I wanted a blade for my 1st Shavette to be of a similar length as a straight razor that I hope to graduate to some day
BLADE: Merkur Super, came with razor (2)
BRUSH: Stirling Soap Synthetic
BOWL: Face Lathered
SOAP: Coniferous from Stirling Sop
POST: TSD Milk, Lather and wood, Captains Choice Splash, all 3 Sandalwood scent
I pushed a coniferous soap sample from Stirling Soap into a pushup stick because RAD and SAD, and I wanted to try lathering with a soap stick. I did the same thing with an ARCO stick and I just purchased a TABAC stick thats the vegan kind after searching for the one with tallow and not being able to find it anywhere. I’ve been hearing lots of good things about TABAC so of course I have to try it out, just ordered it from the razor emporium for 10 bucks!
When I shave with a Shavette, I get SAS at best and this one was just barely. This is so I don't cut myself. Sometimes I’ll follow up with a DE to get DFS or close to BBS but not this time. I just wanted to practice face lathering and by just barely attaining SAS if even, I’ll be able to shave again tomorrow or the next say at the latest which is a great thing to me. Yes, I’m afflicted for sure!
