I honed today my Russian Bear on Synthetics, and also my Parker on the La Lune. I was more curious about the Parker, since last time, I had not gotten a really keen edge with the natural stone. This time, it’s very sharp, though not the most comfortable (for some reason, I didn’t use the strop with the green paste), but it also might be related to the fact that my skin is just generally very irritated and dry these days.
Have a good end of the weekend!
Saturday, October 5, 2024: Saturday of Ash
I am continuing my quest to end Autumn Ash – not sure that I will achieve this is 2024. My skin is very dry these days, and the Marmara Barber aftershave is not really helpful in this.
Have a good day!
Unfortunately I don’t even own a single german soap - the only active german artisan I know of is Meißner Tremonia from Dortmund, but a lot of their products that’d interest me are currently unavailable.
If you are willing to consider the former Holy Roman Empire, there is Haslinger.
At least politically, there seem to be quite some communalities between Eastern and Alpine Germany 😰
Thiers Issard–,
Excellent explainer 👍
I don’t know the model, but that’s a DE shavette. I much prefer Artist Club blades - which are longer, and much stiffer (and mrre expensive, also for the blades).
As for technique, you can look for our own Greg Gallant on youtube - or also Shave and Butcher, if you want a free dad joke with the shave.
There are possibly a few pararmeters here:
What kind of shavette do you have, and what blades does it take (artist club, half DE, other)?
What is your technique? Do you use both hands, or only one? You might want to toy around a bit.
Is your lather wet enough? DE razors are more forgiving than open blades.
As djundjila said, it will take time to get fully proficient.
As to result, I don’t find that shavettes have better or closer shaves (unless you need to get rid of weeks or months of growth), but they are more fun (for me).
Wednesday, October 2, 2024: Stratcona Wednesday
I am alternating Old Strathcona and Autumn Ash until OS is gone – I would assume I have 3 or 4 shaves left.
Have a good night!
Form and function ‘A’, glamour ‘C’.
It’s a German razor, after all 😁
Setting it from its head to its feet?
Edit: I see your photo shows the Marxist view
En rechtige Giel het n Hegel em Sack.
I am Arthur Schopenhauer, and I disapprove of this statement.
Pretty 😍
The Brain has always been my role model 😎
Monday, September 30, 2024: Autumn!
It’s getting cold, and heating is not yet to be found. Good shave, but Epsilon’s stank is difficult to get used to – definitely beyond Tabac’s stank.
Have a good night!
Reached out on matrix
