It’s All Saints Day, and the croissant of death is getting flatter.
Have a good day!
I noticed with shavettes that I can’t get the same flat angle because of the lip - I don’t know whether this causes better skin feel though
Too much French didn’t read
Un croissant de la mort!

A morning shave, everything well. Making progress on the kill – the omega of death has transformed into a C (or a U?) of death.
Have a good day!

Some people shave twice a day in November, and are BBS the whole month.
I had an mild razor with a well-worn blade, which is probably not the winning condition for a close shave.
Do you think you lost proficiency on the DE side, or have straight shaves more potential?

Good shave today – and it’s strange to see that my shaves with a straight are closer than those I get from an (admitedly very mild) DE razor.

Have a good evening.
FWIW, in other contexts where the risk of injury is unacceptable, I have seen a general consensus on recommendations for the Oneblade. It appears that it’s basically impossible to cut yourself, even if you try. So if injury is a major issue, but getting an ultraclose shave and spending 30ish € aren’t, you may want to look into this.
Edit: It can be used dry or with lather.
It’s just a shame that most of their knots are so tiny! 21 mm wouldn’t fit well for my needs
The nod seems to fan out just like Semogue brushes. The 610 is a 21mm knot, and the C3s have a 22mm knot. For face shaving, this is amply sufficient - I guess for the dome, it might be a bit small 😭
They list fucus vesiculosus extract as one of their ingredients. Unfortunately, I don’t smell it at all in the soap - I would love to have something that smells like the sea at the French Channel or Atlantic coast.

Today is the Austrian National Holiday – the day of the flag, which commemorates when the last Soviet soldier left the country in 1955. I used my only remaining Haslinger soap to commemorate, and combined it with a blade produced in Russia.
Have a good evening!
My 24mm SOC is much bigger than my 28mm Zenith. The Pegasus is a 26mm, so I’d assume it to be bigger than a 31mm Zenith.
Not many Mühle-fans around here - the handle looks neat, though!
BTW, have you seen the Semogue Pegasus? Might be the moastest boar eva.
I just tried a smooth (bamboo) breakfast bowl. I’m not sure whether it’s the material or the ridges, but I get a thicker lather faster in my Yaqi bowl, FWIW.

I felt some burn during the shave – it might be related to the fact that my nose runs like crazy, and that I have been through 10-ish packets of paper towels. The combination between AA and Aqua Velva did not raise any suspicion – either my nose has turned itself off, or Aqua Velva is good with anything.
Have a nice evening!
Yeah, probably try another bowl!
