    Any of you guys remember that documentary about faces that John Cleese hosted 20-some years ago? Literally just this morning I remembered a section where he talked about how sheep recognize other sheep's faces.

    The way it was represented was pretty stupid, though:

    The sheep were presented with 2 doorways, one with a friend sheep's face over it and the other with a strange sheep. Then they showed that on the other side of the friend's door they were rewarded with a big pile of food, so I was like, "Wouldn't they just have gone after the food?"

    Turns out trying to use my left hand was a mistake as I cut myself while attempting a left handed XTG pass. Looks worse than it is but I did scare my wife.

    August 10, 2024 – 10/10

    • Brush: Semogue Torga C5
    • Razor: Karve Christopher Bradley B plate Aluminum/Maggard Handle
    • Blade: Wizamet (10)
    • Lather: Stirling Soap Co. – Varen
    • Post Shave: Noble Otter – Orbit

    This was a quick one in the morning, thought I’d post once I got to work but things got busy. Rarely shave in the morning but a two pass was all I needed. Shave 10 and the Wiz might be its best since the first 2 shaves. Varen is still awesome, Torga is a little fluffy beast.

    Blade: Parker
    Brush: Omega Art. 10098
    Lather: Stirling Sheep
    Post Shave: ForeverPure Witch-Hazel, Stirling Boat Creamy Coconut post shave balm

    I love the scent of the creamy coconut, I don't think Stirling has made it recently. I will have to see if coconut lime is as good.

    Aug. 10, 2024   * Brush: Semogue Pharos-c3 Pure Black Horse Hair Shaving Brush   * Razor: Gillette 1959 Super Speed (Blue Tip)   * Blade: Bolzano Superinox Inossidabile [3]   * Lather: Stirling Soap Co. - Scots Pine Sheep - Soap   * Post Shave: Duke Cannon - Aftershave Balm - Balm   * Fragrance: Stetson - Original  

    Today’s shave wasn’t as great as yesterday’s. Oh well. I have noticed these blades do seem to be getting duller with each use, so I’ll probably switch it out tomorrow morning for something new.
