What I forgot is that I was going to use this Edwin Jagger razor for the entire week. I remember halfway through today’s shave. I have now set out the razor for next week, so the experiment will be delayed for one week.
The Omega Pro 48 came out because I like comparing it to the Antica Barbieria boar brush. I still think the Omega is better on the two criteria of feel (on the face) and performance. I sent an email to Omega yesterday to suggest that they produce a brush with the Pro 48 knot and a handle of solid resin, like the handle of the Omega 21762. In the email, I included a link to my review of the Omega and Antica Barbieria brushes.
Wholly Kaw’s La Supériure Dulci Tobacco shaving cream is quite good: excellent lather and fine fragrance. The name is a bit of a hodge-podge: La Supériure (French) Dulci (Italian) Tobacco (English — the Italian word is “tabacco,” the French is “tabac”). It was easy to load the brush — the shaving cream has firmed up a bit, and I did enjoy the lathering.
This stainless steel slant is from early in iKon’s line, and it is a superior slant, wonderfully comfortable if you maintain a good angle and fearsomely efficient. It is still available but now with the head having a B1 coating. Three passes over a two-day stubble left not a single trace of roughness.
A tiny squirt of Aion Nourishing Balm worked well as an aftershave and left my skin feeling soft and supple.
I had coffee this morning because now that I have figured out how best to brew my coffee: grind 30g of beans very fine in my Cuisnart Spice & Herb Grinder and use boiling water in my Clever Coffee dripper. Stir at 2 minutes and put dripper on my Temperfect mug at 3 min 30 seconds.
Doing that, I find that I like the Sulawesi (yesterday’s coffee) more than the Malinal Nayarita (which I’m drinking now).
