SOTD 18-Aug-24

  • Brush: Zenith - Unbleached Bristle 506U
  • Razor: Henckels - Friodur 17
  • Lather: House of Mammoth - Beloved
  • Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Beloved AS
  • Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Beloved Balm
  • Fragrance: House of Mammoth - Beloved EDP

Can definitely see light through the soap so we're making progress, and the brush is performing well. I really like the olive wood feel on the handle, I may very well end up getting the slightly larger handle size.

Refresh Day
The blade is still going strong, it doesn't really need a refresh but rules are rules. It's a simple setup, water spray bottle, packing peanuts and a 3" Miniog slate finisher.

I do have a naniwa 12k that I use on occasion, but this miniog seems to work very well. Though this one has now tempted me to try a few more naturals. Bloomin slippery slope though!

I really don't do anything crazy, dozen or so passes with water, I don't really count either, just whatever feels right. I've been tempted to try oil with this stone, but to be fair the water does the job. I'd not used the packing peanut method before this AA kick off but it works remarkably well. Previously I would just test it in use but this is very reliable. On the plus side at least I can put all that packing material to good use!

Have a cracking day all!

Cheers

Marc
