Phew. My last straight razor shave was a dip in confidence, and today’s shave was a return of confidence. My last one was done while very very tired, which is obviously a bad idea. But, when you’re tired it’s hard to tell the good ideas from the bad sometimes.
Anyway, this is my 7th straight razor shave according to my new database. I keep finding myself repeating some age-old mantras that people always say about DE shaving – don’t use too much pressure, focus on the angle, don’t chase BBS, etc. I’m learning a new skill and it’s helpful to know to avoid these things, and it’s helping keep me out of trouble until I have more skillz.
Yayy, returned confidence ++

Theme Thursday 24 Apr 2025
- Brush: Zenith – r/Wetshaving exclusive MOAR BOAR (31 mm × 57 mm bleached boar)
- Razor: Koraat – r/Wetshaving exclusive Moarteen (15/16", full hollow, carbon steel)
- Lather: Stirling Soap Co. – Mountain Man
- Post Shave: Stirling Soap Co. – Mountain Man
Mountain Man is a dupe of Creed Silver Mountain Water, a scent meant “to evoke the sparkling high-mountain streams of water in the Swiss Alps.”, so definitely on theme today.
A super nice and clean-smelling BBS morning shave. The Moarteen edge has become butter smooth, and the Stirling-Moar Boar combo always gives me great lather.
