also i really like bay rum for aftershave, it makes you smell like a barbershop. i like owning my face with this

i really only use that cat o' nine tails stuff when i need to wake the hell up. it owns tho

more typically i just rub one of those salt aluminum blocks all over my face, since it's a better antimicrobial and also a great styptic

I’ve got a copper still on order so soon enough I’ll be making my own herbal concoctions to voluntarily burn my skin with. Gonna finally put all that lemon balm that’s been taking over to good use.

those blocks are handy when I skip a few days and inevitably nick my mustache area. it's sort of boggling how bad the styptic pencil is with the chalky residue compared to an alum block

i have had a merkur 38c since 2010 or so and it's fine, but one complaint i have is the knob at the end for changing blades doesn't offer a lot of grip. if i needed to buy a new razor today i'd probably just get a 23c, 33c, or 34c

for lather i just use a spray can. i only shave like once or twice a week so a single can will last me like 6-12 months

for blades i'm still working through the blade sampler pack that i'd gotten back in 2010. i liked the gillette 7 o-clock ones but i dont really notice a huge difference between them tbh

I use Feather blades, I bought some Derby blades and kept cutting myself because they were dull as hell and I had to apply pressure.

I like prorasso green and I’ve got Taylor of old bond street Sandalwood that smells amazing.

all that shavechat inspired me to trim my beard for the first time since I last got a haircut (in February)

actually it was more waking up with it having turned against a pillow and poking me but still.

I might break down and have ms jones mohawk me soon

I'm kinda okay with self-trims now. it's nowhere near par with my regular stylist, but it's about in line with a cheap hair cutting place and i can maintain the sides a lot more frequently which is what I really need when its warm

:hmmyes: I love the tobs sandalwood shaving cream.

I used to really like personna razor blades when I was in college, but their recent quality has been extremely hit or miss. Astra and feather blades have pretty good for the most part.

It's cool, my hair is just getting increasingly rock and roll.

Also when I finally shaved my corona beard, my wife convinced me to stop at a goatee instead of going clean shaven. She says she really likes how it looks on me but I always wonder if I just look like a huge tool
