• Brush: Semogue - SOC Taj resin boar 24mm
• Razor: Karve Shaving Co - Christopher Bradley (brass SB-D)
• Lather: Barrister and Mann - Mélange
• Post Shave: Barrister and Mann - Spice - Aftershave

I watched Dune on Netflix for the first time only a month ago. Never read the book. That’s how far behind I am. Now I finally know the background for the artwork on the Mélange soap used for today. By the way mods, what happened with yesterday’s and today’s thread? Good match with the Spice aftershave. Nice shave for a chilly morning.

Daily Challenge:

I lift weights. I got into it through my friend who competed in natural bodybuilding, and been interested in it ever since. We used to share apartment when at university, so I would come along to training, bodybuilding shows, and watch training videos at home. There’s the classic Pumping Iron movie of course. I used to crack up my friend by imitating this guy talking to Arnold in the video. I just sent him that link a few weeks ago - and he cracked up again.

Also, not sure if I can call it a hobby, but something I spent a little bit of time and money on before wetshaving was hi-fi headphones, or “head-fi”. The biggest online forum in this community is https://www.head-fi.org - I don’t think I ever posted anything on there. There’s also audio shows mostly in the US like CanJam - again I have never been to any of those. The community seems to be mostly old men boasting online about how much money they have spent on their equipment - sounds familiar? Here is the goods I got before I got out of the rabbit hole. Check out Audeze headphones (pronounced Odyssey) if you can - a small company based in California. When my kids grow old and perhaps my wife kick me out, I’d like to think I will get into vinyl. But for now - it’s personal audio. On the go - I currently use my iPhone and Tin T2 IEMs. Cheap and good!
