Tue 11 Mar 2025: Day 6 of March Madness

  • Brush: Chisel and Hound – Flame On with v26 Fanchurian
  • Razor: C. V. Heljestrand MK NΒΊ 31 (square point, full hollow, 5/8", carbon steel)
  • Lather: Noble Otter – θŒ‰θŽ‰ηΆ θŒΆ
  • Post Shave: Gentleman's Nod – Musashi
  • Fragrance: Giorgio Armani – ThΓ© Yulong

Delicious green tea overload to start the day? Count me in. The otter gets my vote today.

The Heljestrand is a smooth little shaver, and I'm in equal measure amused and confused by the thumb notch, and I'm still in the honeymoon phase with the brush and knot.

Scent-wise, we were on the same wavelength this morning. 🍻

I plan for a Tea for Tuesday shave with Noble Otter as well. I’m also unclear on the benefits of a jimped thumb notch over a straight tang that is jimped, but it looks cool, and I know that makes it shave better.
