  • Brush: Dogwood / DG B14 Mammoth yellow label release  
  • Razor: Custom designed Böker 6/8 with bog oak scale and French head  
  • Lather: Stirling Soap Co. – Weekend in Malibu  
  • Post Shave: Saponoficio Bignoli – Liquiriza Menta  
  • Fragrance: Joop – Thrill  
  • Icecream: Cherry joghurt

Mom is getting on my nerves and in my anger I honed my razor yesterday. $honemeisterschaft. With the new DMT plate, I made slurry with ease. In the right light (bathroom), I saw a scratch pattern at the edge. I was frustrated. Gcgallant magnifies his edge 1000 times and it looks smooth as an IKEA cupboard, while my edge has a scratch pattern I can see with my glasses on? I went back to the 3k stone and worked myself up to the 12k. It leaves me confused that I can feel something like a powder on the stones when I clean them under running water. It it the metal or stone surface? In my anger, I never checked the edge and just honed by counting and a feeling of “it’s enough now, let’s increase the grid”. The edge feels fine during the first two passes and I am undecided about the third pass. Currently have some irritations above my Adam’s apple. Tomorrow is a tactical no shave.
