Second use of AG 1889 for me, and second experience of frag burn. This soap needs to go, unfortunately 😢

I have only had one use on my tub of AG 1889. No issues with it so far. Looks like Armonía is a winner, though.

Yes, Armonía is one of those love-at-first-sniff fragrances for me, too. So alive 🤩

Happy to hear that 1889 works for you, it's great scent!

I bought it a couple of weeks ago. It is beautiful lignum vitae over cocobolo. Hopefully, my period of SOTD photo laziness will end soon so you'll be able to see what it looks like.

Sounds nice!

SOTD photo laziness --;

Saturday, April 6, 2024: Warm, but cloudy


Temperatures have risen beyond 20 degrees here, but the sun has not come out. I've used several times Marduk, and I would assume that I have at the most another 10 shaves in it. A nice soap, but requires heavy loading.

Have a good day!

We have practically summer a few hours southeast of you. Short sleeves everywhere and lines at the ice cream shop ⛱️☀️🌞

  • Brush: Maggard 24mm G5 Synthetic
  • Razor: Blackland Era - Level 3 SB
  • Blade: Dorco Prime (5)
  • Lather: Oaken Lab - Far Afield - Soap
  • Post Shave: Noble Otter - Hamami - Aftershave
  • Fragrance: Barrister & Mann - Lavenille - EdP

I haven't used this knot in a while and was expecting it to be how I remember -- lots of backbone and a little scritchy. Instead, it splayed pretty easily and felt pretty nice.

I like these Dorco blades. I'd get some in bulk if I didn't have a ton of blades already.
