The Clog-Pruf sure is great. The first couple of passes I kept thinking man, this is smooth. No weepers, super nice. Then, of course, the 3rd pass introduced 3 or 4 weepers. Go figure.
Still an excellent shave.
No weepers, super nice.
This thought is a reliable magical incantation provoking weapers

Call me what you willSomething New Sunday. If I remember correctly, Stirling described this scent as inspired by Anthony Bourdain. I added in 7 Doubloons for a dash of pirate.
Have a great day!
Destination Unknown is a dupe of Versace Eros. I also have this one and really enjoy it.

- Brush: MRED/Le Père Lucien 26mm Badger
- Razor: River Razors Kamisori (2)
- Lather: Martin de Candre Absinthe
- Postshave: Naissance 702 Witch Hazel
- Postshave: Epsilon Blue Mediterranean
- Postshave: Nivea After Shave Balm
I brought back the River Razors kamisori, and I got a very close shave with it today (the extremely slick Martin de Candre base certainly helped). I will bring it back into my regular rotation (after the accident)! Absinthe is a nice and unobtrusive scent – nothing to write home about, but good and fresh. And the badger brush is also a very good experience - the only issue is that it fits only with difficulty into my mug for getting more water.
Have a good day!

Only a few more weeks of continuous use until it’s gone!
I’ve been loading it like it owes me money, so hopefully that’s not the case lol

Another close shave, though not quite as good as yesterday’s.
The weekend really isn’t long enough. I want a three-day weekend every week.
For years we had a 9/80 schedule at work (every other Friday off). It was magnificent… 26 Fridays off every year. Then I realized I had 26 short weekends each year. Current job, I scored a 4/10 schedule (every Friday off). Mondays still suck. :)
Yeah, I think really what I want is to be retired or otherwise financially independent.
