Brush: AP Shave Co. Snakeskin handle w/ 26 mm Silksmoke Flattop Fan hybrid knot
Razor: RazoRock Cyber Medium w/ RR Superknurl handle
Blade: Rapira Platinum Lux
Lather: E&S Rasage - Shaman
Post-Shave: Moon Soaps Old School “balm”
-> 2 pass dome shave and 1 pass on the neck. A very comfortable shave.
I grabbed a random soap from my cabinet today, and luckily it is a very nice one - Shaman is a very warm, soothing and creamy tobacco. It’s perhaps one of the fattest soaps I own though, i.e. really oily. Loading this actually requires effort, but if it goes right it’s a really rewarding experience.
I wondered if the Cyber might do better with my favourite handle of all time, the Superknurl. Obviously this makes it handle-heavy which is generally avoided, but I actually like it. Not that the original hexagonal handle of it is bad though, sometimes I just prefer razors with a little bit more heft to them. And I kinda like creating “frankenrazors”, but maybe that’s just an outdated term for individualising your shave experience.
Very solid shave overall, the aftershave lotion that calls itself a balm was fitting nicely in terms of scent.
NSR: I have started an online course for learning to play bass and so far, I kinda feel alright with it. I’ll probably write more about it on Free Talk Friday!

It’s probably my 8th attempt at it, but so far it’s finally fun instead of a chore. And it grooves! 🎶
