I haven’t been able to find scent notes, but it smells good, is made with horse milk. And it is named after the stallion 🤔

Doubli refutatiôn for my hypothesis!

A word on how the RazoRock “feels”. It has a sort of drag to it that the Merkur doesn’t have, but only in certain directions. I can’t tell why. It’s not a “gets sucked into your face” kind of drag like a Karve Overlander. Could it be the shiny finish? Shiny razors tend to stick to my skin, even with good lather (but the 34C is also shiny, so…). Could it be the safety bar, which has a sharp angle at the edge where it rides along your skin? It’s not uncomfortable, but it’s definitely not as rounded as most safety bars. Or could it be something else?

SS razors having more drag?

How is your valuation?

It’s a pity that Merkur doesn’t want our money, and doesn’t produce SS versions of their razors 😬

You fools! You should have kept the instance running, and sold it to Phoenix Artisan Accoutrement, or Henson Razor!

• Brush: Muninn Woodworks Gloire de France with Zenith 505BC Boar 🐗
• Razor: Thiers-Issard 188 7/8 ‘Coq et Renard’
• Lather: Martin de Candre Absinthe
• Postshave: Naissance 702 Witch Hazel

A great and very close shave, and the MdC base really makes for a slick base. I think this will become a favorite very soon.

Have a good evening!

If I understand correctly, Gillette Aristocrat is not one razor, but a serious of different razors:

[Edit: @[email protected] beat me to the link](https://www.razorarchive.com/articles/gillette-aristocrat-history)

That being said, vintage Gillettes are good razors, and can be used for shaving every day. The 34C is a very mild razor, and whatever you may buy will likely be more efficient. I have a vintage Slim Adjustable, which is a great razor, and also a Black Beauty (which I like a bit less, but it was produced in my birthday quarter).

I can’t speak to head shaving, but if you can get a vintage Gillette for a good price, go for it!

Irisch Moos seems the obvious soap for the razor!

You probably don’t need to read this, but it’s always good to remember why we are here.

TLDR: reddit being reddit, and fuck spez

I have a scriptblocker, and things don’t work great

If only their website wouldn’t want to load all the javascript on the web 😮

But I will probaly get it if it turns up on European shops

Now off to the office smelling like a middle-aged man.

Somehow, I feel targeted here 😜

Sextidi 6 Germinal an 233 de la Révolution, jour de Bette

• Brush: Yaqi 26mm Synthetic Bingcha (Iced Tea)
• Razor: Feather Artist Club SS Kamisori
• Blade: Feather Pro Guard (14)
• Lather: Mäurer & Wirtz Tabac
• Postshave: Naissance 702 Witch Hazel
• Postshave: Epsilon Blue Mediterranean
• Postshave: Nivea After Shave Balm

I think it has been something like 3 years that I killed my tub of Tabac, and this was one of the old ones that was not vegan. The scent was a return to a known stank, and it is definitely less stanky (by 30 years) than Blue Mediterranean. Also, much less slickness than with the MdC. But – nice!

Have a good evening!

I got out my Tabac, and sniffing it made me smile. Looking forward to the shave!

I don’t know 🤷
