June 18, 2024 - RIP IN PIECES
- Brush: Stirling - Synthetic 24mm
- Razor: Schick - Krona 1960s TTO DE
- Blade: Personna - Platinum
- Lather: Australian Private Reserve - Carnivale
- Post Shave: 345 Soap Co. - Aces over 8s Splash
- Fragrance Demeter - Funeral Home Fragrance Oil Roll On.
SOAP - It’s sad that these guys are not around anymore. What a great soap. There are notes of brandy, wood, dried fruits, some spices… overall very nice. Lathers up really well.
RAZOR - Trusty Shick which I am using until the blade gets dull. It’s a personna so it will be a while.
TODAY I matched my set with all things DEAD. Carnival died a while back. Aces over eights splash is about “Wild Bill” Hickock who was shot in the back of the head during a legendary 5-card stud game. In his hand forever known as the “Deadman’s Hand” with two Aces, two 8s, and a mystery fifth card. He was known as a great lawman so 345 made a soap about it (I’m using the splash). And to close out the set I got a special fragrance to wrap the whole thing. Funeral Home is one is those scents that either makes you wonder why certain things smell familiar or it brings horrible flashbacks because it sure does smell like the name. After I rolled it on my neck I myself had a flashback of standing in front of an open gasket starring at my uncle’s dead body and I wonder back then what that leathery, slightly sweet and moldy smell was coming from. Sooo yeah…. probably the last time I put that on!!! Chills!!!
THE THEME - To be completely honest I have a fat watermelon of a chin! There are no sharp angles. Things just slide off my face so in all honesty I have NOT cut myself THAT hard as to have blood dripping down my neck! HERE is my proof!!
In essence I have not taken a pic of any cuts I have had because they were small tiny knicks. I did cut my finger handling a blade when I first started wetshaving which I applied super glue to cover it up but end up getting infected and then a trip to urgent care for them to drain yeah it was MESSY!!
