The Twenty-Ninth Day Of Weckoning is upon us

  • Brush: Rubberset 400-3 with a 26 mm unbleached Zenith boar knot at 56 mm loft
  • Razor: Weck Sextoblade Med Prep
  • Blade: Kismet Rostfrei, Polymer beschichtet (35)
  • Lather: Barrister and Mann – Oceana
  • Post Shave: Ralon – Original
  • Fragrance: Stirling Soap Co. – Island Man

The end of AA is near and I felt premature nostalgia for this setup during today's shave again. This is silly since I'm really looking forward to Sample September and rummaging through Mount Smushmore.

A surprise observation: Ralon felt really good for my skin this month. I had half expected that using a 100 years old recipe for an wound antiseptic (Wiki has this only in German, Croatian, Czech, and Hungarian, unfortunately.) without the emphasis on "skin food" of modern post shave splashes for a month straight would feel drying or irritating, but this did not happen.
