2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
This is my travel setup through Friday. All the accoutrements for luxury shaves while away from home.
Safe travels. Anywhere fun or interesting?
I’m in Cleveland visiting my daughter. Doing some hiking and photography.
A R. Austfrei travel straight + synth is the way to go: peace of mind mind without 💯% dry gear++;
This time around, the pièce de résistance is my travel strop. After seeing yours, I got Tony Miller to make one with a piece of premium steerhide and flax linen. He also sent me a 280mm x 75mm piece of steerhide so I could make a bench strop from it.

Not sure what happened the other day but today’s shave was infinitely better. Same blade and razor, but today was pure bliss by comparsion.
I’m celebrating Black Watchday with an all-black hardware setup. This fragrance just can’t but put me in a good mood, and the ship Böker is a great razor. Good start into the day.
After yesterday’s double trickhole shave, this starts to look like a bit of a Dickhole December.

1-pass head and face shave. Head with the Headblade, face with the mild Stando Perun.
Vor V is one of my favourite scents in wetshaving due to being a TF Tuscan Leather dupe. Fruity leather is something I’ll never grow tired of. The OAM fragrance by their “wellness oils” line goes oddly nice with it.
The only blood loss was due to a bump on my jawline. Other than that, a totally comfortable and relaxing Wednesday night shave. Tomorrow I want to take “Farewell selfies” with my favourite colleagues, not only for myself but also as a parting gift for them. I really cherish the connections I made with them; even though we won’t share the same place of work by next year, we’ll stay friends 🍀

| After yesterday’s meh experience with Ishtar, I tried a synthetic brush, and didn’t use any preshave. I loaded abundantly, and got loads of dense lather. It’s not as slick as Southern Witchcraft’s base though, even with lots of water. Yeah, it doesn’t spark as much joy as before. |
Have a good night!
You used to love Ishtar, no?
Is it just the lather, or do you also dislike the scent now?
The scent is great, but it’s gotten very weak since I had to change the tub (there was some reaction of the tin tub with the soap). I don’t know whether the lather quality declined with the scent, but I don’t get the wow effect anymore 😞

A couple of under-the-nose weepers. They were actually a bit more intense than a standard weeper, but at the same time didn’t quite warrant a styptic.

Good shave. Quite the blast of menthol and lime this morning.
