  • Brush: Semogue Owner's Club (cherry wood and boar) (58)
  • Razor: Zwilling J. A. Henckels Friodur 17 (NOS, 7/8", hollow ground, stainless steel)
  • Lather: Smitten Soapery โ€“ Hipster
  • Post Shave: Chatillon Lux โ€“ Pure Lavender
  • Fragrance: Chatillon Lux โ€“ Yuzu/Rose/Patchouli

I woke up to over 30 Moarteen signups already and I'm elated. Leaning into lavender and patchouli (and citrus) with this happy early weekend morning shave.

The Frio edge lost it's magic smoothness around use 24, but it's still solidly comfortable at 28 uses. Really great steel, this.

Very nice photo! Honestly, the second or third use is just magic on a fresh Frio edge that has been really pushed for sharpness. The first shave or two helps it to settle in a little.

Thanks! Playing with a lightbox I finally bought.

I strop freshly honed edges on canvas with chromium oxide, so they are super smooth from the get go.
