It’s the Mammoth Monday closest to the Lunar New Year, so this seemed like an excellent themed shave today. This is one of my top tier scents, one that I think everyone should give a whirl.

It was that or Noir, and I felt I needed to stay on brand.

First shave since the new water softener was installed yesterday. The plumber said that it could take a few days for all the hard water to get out of the hot water tank, but already there is a night and day difference. The lather was so much easier to form and felt softer and slicker. I’m excited to see the difference as the hard water works its way out of the system, and suggest everyone try a soft water shave.

Great razor. Also love the name. I don’t know why, but it’s my favorite razor name in all of shaving. Something about the hyphen and the Pruf.

Lovely shave. The GUTL and the Nebula worked well with the Omnibus base, and of course Vespers is a top tier scent. Another great Christmas Shave.

I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for it. Bought it at midnight in 2016. It was sold out by 6 AM. Got a scent I loved and the thrill of the limited drop kill all at the same time. I’m pretty sure it’s why I bought everything that came out for two years straight.

Years ago I heard about people using the Feather Cartridge Razor while traveling and being happy with it.

I always check bags so I just put a razor I don’t much care about in my checked baggage. Typically a Gillette Tech because I have an Altoids travel container for it.

Things are finally beginning to calm down for me, which is allowing me to ease back into social media, which is nice!
