My fourth shave with Moarteen went relatively well all things considered. No nicks, slices, or blood. Two passes then a finishing ATG pass with the Legacy to get as close a finish as I wanted. Slowly but surely the technique is coming along!

Great lather and excellent results. Whatever illness I caught over the weekend has moved into my nose/sinuses, so I can’t smell a damn thing. Very smooth shave though!

Didn’t know that but I love it

Excellent shave. I know I’m late to the party on this one, but LTV is yet another banger from Catie’s Bubbles. Just lovely.

I also was unaware! A couple times the font has had me second guessing whether that’s actually a “p” as well 😄

I think it’s just straight up grapefruit. Definitely from before my time, Jobooze gave me a bottle. Pretty sure phteven unloaded several on him that he had lying around.

A nice citrus-forward shave on a lovely spring day.

Git is powerful and confusing. I have a love-hate relationship with it.

The terminology has always felt especially opaque to me, especially when I was first learning about it.

On theme with Irish Coffee, a lovely scent. I’ve yet to meet a Bubble I didn’t enjoy the scent of.

It’s a great razor, I don’t blame you

So are you keeping both CF legacies then?

YRP is a really nice scent, though I don’t think I can see myself reaching for it very often. Overall a great shave after a tiring day.

• Fragrance: Barrister and Mann - Lavender, Interrupted - EdT

Haverford is one of those scents that somehow always seems to be better than you remember it. So warm and comforting, this was a great end to my day.

This shave brought to you by walden’s SDS – it really is a neat system once you get used to it. I’m especially keen on having my own queryable SOTD history. Neat stuff!

I can migrate again tonight, np

It really is. I’ll probably try to get one at some point, maybe if/when my 34c actually kicks the bucket.

lol, thanks. This one was hand crafted, bespoke even, but tonight the machines will print for me.
