August 25, 2023 – 25 done
- Brush: Summer Break Soaps “Dundy” Maggard Boar 26mm
- Razor: Marianna #310 Hair Shaper
- Blade: Personna Hair Shaper (25)
- Lather: House of Mammoth – Dammusi
- Post Shave: House of Mammoth – Dammusi
25 shaves done. It both feels much longer and much shorter than this, which is good, I guess. I’m very much looking forward to the Personna being done. Dammusi and Dundy could continue on, though. I won’t, but, I could.
We buried my wife’s grandpa today and he was a good guy. Hadn’t spoken to him in years as he has been mostly gone for a long time (he battled parkinsons, dementia, and had a stroke 2 years ago). Shaving tonight after the funeral made me think that I wished I’d gotten into this hobby a bit earlier and I could have asked about his shaving habits. He was stationed in Germany in the early 1950s in the military (not sure which branch) so I have to assume he was standard issued some Gillette kit for use over there. I honestly didn’t know he’d served until today. People have stories and even though we didn’t see them often I wish that I could have heard more of his. Every time I go to a funeral I’m reminded of the importance of treasuring the time you have with people while they’re still around. So – fine friends, treasure your people, whoever they may be.
Good night.
