August 16, 2024 – Wedding guest shave  

• 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: Summer Break Soaps – Bell Ringer  
• Fragrance: Dunhill – Icon Racing  

Today is my fiancé’s brothers public office wedding. We are not taking it too seriously with our outfits. No fly or tie for me. Still, I wanted to look great and focused on my shave like never before. At all costs I wanted to avoid irritation, which failed around my Adam’s apple. Maybe I ll add some DG liniment in a minute. This shave showed me that there is still room for improvement on my daily shaves as I am still using too much pressure. Also, I did a few extra laps on my strop. Although I am looking forward to this weekends $honemeisterschaft honing, it doesn’t feel thaaaaaat necessary to me. The hole in my soap felt large enough to have a negative impact on my lather. Luckily it was just a short timed feeling. Still, I know that in just a few days it will become more and more difficult to get a great lather.
