July 3, 2023 – Just Another Mammoth Almonday

  • Brush: Cool Dog “Granada” ebonite with 28mm silvertip SHD
  • Razor: Feather Popular
  • Blade: 7am Hi Platinum Durablade (3)
  • Lather: House of Mammoth – Almond Leather
  • Post Shave: House of Mammoth – Almond Leather

Company is closed today but I still dragged my ass out of bed at a stupidly early hour to run 4 miles before the sun came up and it started getting “too hot”. It was still 77 degrees with 88% humidity so it felt like 82. Some days I frakkin’ hate living in the swamp.

Took a cold shower with Glacial Lemon Chill bath soap to cool down and then had a lovely single-pass shave with Mammoth’s Almond Leather. I could have done a second pass, but if I shave too efficiently, I’m eventually going to hit a day where I just have nothing to shave and this is not the month for that.

Also, fuck u/spez

2 passes. Bowl lather. Excellent shave.

Not a lot to say today. This was a very nice Lather Games theme. It reminded me to use Almond Crème which I've had for a long time, and like a lot, but forget to use.

The MK 31 Söderfors is a very special razor. Admittedly, I chose it because of its cream-colored scales to add "crème" to the photo. I have another, more typical, MK 31 which is excellent, but this one is truly special. It has ivory scales that are thinner and more delicate than the typical celluloid scales and the blade feels lighter as well. I think this one has a deeper hollow grind because it sings a bit more, yet it has that Swedish steel feel. I'm hoarding this one. It is so good that I'm on the lookout for another one that I can keep as a backup.

Same as yesterday and equally as good. This was the last use of this blade but 8 good uses is good mileage
