Back from vacation, we all had a good time and no flight fuckery so that was nice. Good to be reunited with the whole den and what better way to celebrate that than with a full Sonder shave.

Leaving to get on the boat in a few hours. This tub of Barnegat Bay is my trusty travel shave companion, along with the quick-to-dry synthetic knot.

Greetings from a bar in Miami Beach where I have decamped to drink a martini and escape the heat. Early-ass shave this morning so we could get to the airport for our 8 AM flight before we embark on our cruise tomorrow. Hope everyone is having a great Friday.

  • Blade: GEM PTFE (37)
  • Lather: Barrister and Mann - Fougere Gothique
  • Post Shave: Stirling - Varen
  • Fragrance: Stirling - Lightish Pink

I probably should have saved this potent combo for a day when I’m in the office and have a 40 minute drive to enjoy it by myself, and not a day where my wife walks into the bathroom and asks what stinks. Live and learn. We’re headed to Miami tomorrow morning for a short cruise so tonight is packing up my trusty Catie’s Bubbles sample tub of Barnegat Bay.

Today is my daughter’s last day of kindergarten, going to pick her up from school and take her out to lunch to celebrate. A fine shave this morning with some fine gear.

I've been really enjoying this bottle of Falling Into the Sea that I picked up recently. A really beautiful summertime frag. A great shave today with a favorite razor and a fun scent in Catie's Bubbles cream base.

June 19 2023 - Au Revoir Nordost

  • Brush: Boti handle w/ 24mm AP Shave G5C

  • Blade: Derby Premium (7)
  • Lather: Barrister and Mann - Nordost
  • Post Shave: Barrister and Mann - Nordost
  • Fragrance: Tom Ford - Grey Vetiver

Tub kill! Third of the year for me. Omnibus goes fast (relatively speaking, I bought this tub in January 2022)...this tub was hurried along by my use of a soap hungry 30mm Declaration knot, but I still feel like the amount of shaves I got from this tub would have barely been a dent in a Reserve base tub. I'm not complaining, though it may sound like it, as now I have justification to pick up something new. And the Nordost splash will join my small collection of splashes that have outlived their soaps.

One shave left and I’ll be done with this tub of Nordost. Feels good.

I got a little distracted from my Nordost kill so back at it today. Almost there.

Varen. It’s what’s for dinner.

  • Lather: Stirling - Red House Farm - Prairie Dog

  • Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Mood Indigo

  • Fragrance: House of Mammoth - Mood Indigo

Very few soaps I have can match Prairie Dog for how great my face feels after using it. And the scent is really calming. For some reason I have off work tomorrow, and not Monday when the actual holiday is. Strange but I'm not complaining.

  • Lather: Stirling - Barrister and Mann - Famine

  • Post Shave: Stirling - Catie's Bubbles - Blugere

  • Fragrance: Tom Ford - Ebene Fume

I really enjoyed the scent of Famine this morning and I wish I had picked up a set of one of the Four Horsemen series when they went on clearance; I bet this smells really nice in splash form, but also because I'm almost done my only full tub of Omnibus. Oh well.
