This soap lathered like shit, can't tell if it's a brush, water, or just soap issue. Requires more testing. The splash felt fine and smelled good tho, so I just need to address the soap issue....

Another day on the tub kill while we catch our breath between March Madness matchups. Yesterday, Tabac looked like it was fielding a JV team. Tomorrow might well be a tighter battle.

On to Wednesday we go and thank the Universe once again for providing delicious coffee. Try to enjoy your day and remember to be kind to one another.

• Razor: EldrormR Industries MM24
• Blade: GEM (6)
• Lather: SIR Irisch Moos
• Post Shave: Stirling Soap Co. – Varen
• Fragrance: Sir Irisch Moos

If I’m honest, had yesterday been about the Moos I may have chosen it. But it was not. And so I backed team otter. But I can still use the Moos today and smell wonderful. It’s one of the few scents my wife enjoys.

Tub Load; Face Lather; WTG/ATG/Cleanup Passes; DFS Result; 4th Consecutive / 278th Overall SOTD Post

They say "Third Time's a Charm". Well, they also say "Bad Luck Comes in Threes", and bad describes today's lather. It was better than yesterday, but it still sucked. It'd be easy to blame Rumble, but after practicing soap-loading after the shave, I noted that the v20 gel tips retained water even after flicking the brush vigorously a dozen time. I hadn't factored this into my hydration levels during lather-building and I suspect that's why my lather was getting overhydrated, especially during the second and third passes. I will need to rethink my lather-building process. Happy shaving and have a wonderful day.

• Razor: EldrormR Industries MM24
• Blade: GEM PTFE (29)
• Lather: Catie's Bubbles - X
• Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Indigo
• Fragrance: House of Mammoth - Alive

I've really been enjoying this L4 knot, it is very soft but with good backbone and excellent water retention which makes face lathering a breeze. The danger of trying new stuff is now I'm considering finding one of these for myself. The shave was marvelous, a great brush, razor, soap and smells.

Surprised Will is cutting Lavender from the roster. It's my favorite straightforward lavender scent in wet shaving. First Homecoming, now Lavender; other primarily-purple scents should be nervous.

Razor: u/EldrormR Industries MM24
Blade: Personna GEM PTFE [7]
Lather: Noble Otter - Monoi de Tahiti - Soap

Last vacation Cancun shave and it was rushed. I’m sending my razor home with my wife because she is checking a bag home and I have to go to Newark for meetings in the office tomorrow (though will be home tomorrow night to get in my March Madness bracket shave). I thought our car was at 1:45 so thought I had about 5 minutes tops to shave. Results are about what one would expect. Perfectly acceptable visually, but definitely a few spots that are still stubbly to the touch along my jawline. And then of course we get downstairs and find out our car is at 2:20, not 1:45 🤦‍♂️.

Still a great trip, just a bummer that I have to work the last two days of the week… But then next week is Spring Break in Kauai and we can do it all over again. (This week was a work-adjacent trip for my wife that spouses tag along for).

The aquatic Kraken, from the once active MLS, was a nice change of pace this morning. The new-to-me Bixby paired well enough and left me very impressed with it's scent profile.

Today got off to a meh start. Got to the office, up to our floor, and realized that I left my laptop at home. IT guy wasn’t around at the time to get a spare for the day, so I returned home. I did manage to get pretty much everything I had planned for today completed at least.

Tabac Tuesday was 1 day late this week. I was a little surprised at yesterday’s outcome. I thought maybe Tabac would get at least a little closer. I guess most of the Tabac regulars like Noble Otter too (myself included). I think for the rest of the opening round, my choices are easier and fairly predictable.

Decent shave again. No faults and no stinging from the lotion. Trying to guess when the middle will break through on the tub. It looks like maybe in the next few shaves. I think my first tub of Tabac won’t make it through 2024. Of course the tub is deeper on the sides, so still a good chunk remaining.
