    The Penultimate Day Of Weckoning is upon us

    • Brush: Rubberset 400-3 with a 26 mm unbleached Zenith boar knot at 56 mm loft
    • Razor: Weck Sextoblade Med Prep
    • Blade: Kismet Rostfrei, Polymer beschichtet (36)
    • Lather: Barrister and Mann – Oceana
    • Post Shave: Ralon – Original
    • Fragrance: Stirling Soap Co. – Island Man

    Very nice shave this morning. I was comfortable already with the Weck and this ultra-high backbone brush before AA, but there’s something special about using a setup repeatedly for a month. This was my 301st shave with an open blade since opening this can of worms by borrowing u/VisceralWatch’s Feather AC shavette for Lather Games 2022, and my 55th shave with this particular Weck, but now, for lack of a better term, I feel expertise in every move. The same goes for this brush (80th use today). I just know I’ll have a great lather and a great shave before I even start.

    All that being said, I’m chomping at the bit take my new-to-me Fili 14 for a spin through my sample pile (Mount Smushmore) next month.

    I’m still a bit overwhelmed by yesterday’s surprise gift and feeling blessed 😊️

    I’m traveling. I used @sgrdddy@sub.wetshaving.social’s Slurry Lather™ for a quick shave. I used slightly less water to make less mess, and that was just fine. A better-than DFS shave is my result.

    • Preshave: Proraso Green Preshave
    • Brush: Zenith 506U XS Horse 🐎
    • Razor: Greencult GC 2.0 II
    • Blade: Astra Superior Platinum (29)
    • Lather: Abbate y La Mantia Marduk
    • Post Shave: Mennen Le Grand Large
    • Post Shave: Nivea After Shave Balm

    I wasn’t quite concentrated enough, and got myself a few weepers on the neck - the GreenCult is not (yet?) an autopilot razor for me.

    Have a good night!
