Saturday Night.

  • Razor: Razorock - Game Changer .84
  • Brush: Omega Pro-48 - Custom Handle Boar Brush
  • Blade: Gillette Nacet (1)
  • Lather: Barrister's Reserve - Fern
  • Post: Lucky Tiger - Aftershave & Face Tonic

This was a late evening shave. I had yet again gotten to the point the scruff on my throat was irritating me to the point I wouldn't be able to sleep. I am constantly amazed at how well the budget friendly Omega Pro-48 Boar brush lathers. The Barrister's Reserve Fern isn't a soap I use often, but for late night shaves I tend to grab something pretty neutral smelling as to avoid angering my wife.

It's been kind of a wild year.

Excellent, the plugin now fires as expected. I'll give it a shot for tomorrow's SOTD post. Thanks!

I didn't think about going and looking for your dotfiles, I'm sure I would have found this had I looked. :)

  • Brush: Omega Pro-48 28mm Boar - custom handle
  • Razor: Geneva Cutlery - Vintage Straight Razor
  • Blade: 9/16
  • Lather: Southern Witchcrafts - Grave Fruit II
  • Post Shave: Southern Witchcrafts - Grave Fruit II Splash
  • Fragrance: Southern Witchcrafts - Grave Fruit II

This was my first open blade shave in over a year. I'm honestly surprised I'm not bleeding right now. All in all it was an awkward shave, but the products worked exactly as they should have. My technique leaves a lot to be desired.

Lazy doesn't appear to be loading the plugin, although it's installed. Perhaps I'm doing something daft?

I'm making some progress on setting up my den.json

I blind purchased mine at SMS's suggestion, and don't regret it at all. I borrowed a Blackland Blackbird after AA 2023 and knew I had to have one. I've shaved with virtually nothing else since. The GC is different, and I'm glad I used it again.

I hadn't shaved for maybe 2 or 3 weeks. The scruff under my chin was actually starting to irritate me to the point I was having a hard time falling asleep. So I put a fresh blade in the Game Changer and in two passes feel like a new man. This is my first shave using something other than my Stainless Blackland Blackbird in a hell of a long time. The GC really does punch well above it's weight.
