25-08 - The travelling Mammoth

  • Brush: Yaqi 'Purple Haze' w/ 24mm Mew Brown knot
  • Razor: 1953-54 Gillette 'Aristocrat Junior'
  • Blade: Gillette Nacet (25)
  • Lather: House of Mammoth - Mood Indigo - Soap
  • Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Mood Indigo - Balm
  • Fragrance: Proraso - Wood and Spice - Cologne

More road shavin'. Nothing eventful about the shave itself, but we did have an unfortunate event nonetheless: the appearance of the dreaded ring of death. This is rather sad as it means my shaves with this gorgeous soap are now definitely and visibly limited, and I hate to see a good friend go. There have been some very nice people on here who offered to help me source a replacement tub, and I will need to take one lucky poster up on that offer very soon.

Besides that, nothing much to report. I suppose we're now officially less than 7 days away from the end of this marathon, so there's that. Counting down the days before I will have to farewell this beautiful set for a bit (or at the very least have it enter a less frequent rotation in the effort of preserving it). Starting to think about what my first shave in September will be. Some of you have been talking about that for a while now, but I've tried to stay away from it because I didn't want to get tempted. It'll be a tough choice for sure.
