  • Brush: Zenith B40 28mm Boar

  • Razor: River Razors 14 8/8" Full Hollow

  • Lather: Catie's Bubbles - Blugère - Soap

  • Toner: Thayers - Lavender - Toner

  • Aftershave: Catie's Bubbles - Blugère - Aftershave

2 passes. Bowl lather. Good shave.


This is a new tub of Blugère and my first time trying the Premium soap base. Because the brush is so new, I can't properly appreciate this. I have soaps in the Luxury base, though, so I look forward to doing a comparison at some point.

This razor needs a new edge. I'm really looking forward to that!

River Razors ++

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

I have 5 minutes to have a shower if I’m lucky, so this morning it goes like this.

Head under the hot water.

Lather some soap, just the bar of soap in the shower - rub it all over my head.

Grab the Sledgehammer with last weeks permasharp still in, hope that I remembered to dry it last time…

No blood and cuts, feels smooth, and I’m already running late for work.

Get dressed, bop on a couple fingers of Noble Otter Space post shave and go wake the kids up before I leave.

It’s Friday and there were only two people in the office today anyway.

A quick evening shave - the River Razors kamisori gives me consistently excellent shaves.

Have a good night!
