These disposable razors get the job done and can go in my carry-on luggage, but they are not a joy to use.
Have a great one y'all.

Mostly just London and Paris, with one night (Thursday) in Amsterdam.
I suspect that would be a long trip for you just to have a drink with some rando. ;)
Basically just London and Paris, with a first night in Amsterdam. Sheβs already in the Netherlands for a work conference, so Iβm meeting her there as our jumping off point.

- Razor: GEM - MMOC (first gen, 1930-1932)
- Blade: Personna - GEM PTFE (5)
- Lather: Chiseled Face - Ghost Town Barber

Easy shave with GTB and the MMOC. It's funny how this razor feels kind of harsh to shave with, but pretty much always gives me a smooth shave with no irritation.
Have a good Sunday y'all!

- Brush: Rad Dinosaur Creations "Nebulagance" - TurnNShave Quartermoon 26mm synthetic
- Razor: GEM - Micromatic Clog-Pruf
- Blade: Personna - GEM PTFE (7)
- Lather: Barrister and Mann - Ubrique
- Post Shave: Barrister and Mann - Ubrique Aftershave splash
- Post Shave: Stirling - Glacial Unscented Aftershave balm
- Fragrance: Barrister and Mann - Ubrique EdP
This is my first shave with Ubrique, and I'm very impressed. It's a much spicier and richer leather scent than the Seaforth! Leather. A bit of tangy citrus and smoke, but much less coriander/bergamot brightness.
I'd situate it somewhere between Stirling's Oro Valley (an Ombre Leather dupe) and the Seaforth! Leather. The soap isn't quite as bright to my nose as Oro Valley, but it has a similar smoky/citrus (but much more complex) vibe. Obviously, the performance is top-notch like every other BaM soap.
The EdP is absolutely excellent. Dark leather, smoke, much more citrus, and a background of peppery goodness. I'm definitely a fan. I'd say this is worth picking up on its own at least if the soap and splash don't appeal to you.
The Clog-Pruf shaved great as always. Just an excellent start to my Saturday.
Stirling with a boar brush is always such a lovely lather.

- Brush: Grizzly Bay - Chisel & Hound v24 Fanchurian badger
- Razor: Yates Precision Manufacturing - 921-M
- Blade: Gillette - Perma-Sharp (2)
- Lather: Zingari Man - The Master
- Post Shave: Zingari Man - The Master Recovery Splash
- Fragrance: Barrister and Mann - Ubrique EdP
Mediocre shave -- for whatever reason this blade just wasn't cutting very close. No real irritation, but not at all the results I'd expect after three passes.
All the scents were great though. Tomorrow I want to do the Ubrique trifecta to see how it all plays together.
Praise the weekend y'all.

We both overslept this morning because of jet lag and almost missed our train to London.
Super rushed one pass shave this morning. Probably the fastest I shaved since getting into wetshaving, but I still got pretty great results.
