May 21, 2024 -- Tea for Twosday

  • Brush: Wald Nimbus Chryselephantine 29mm A1 Fan

  • Razor: Puma 89 11/16 Full Hollow

  • Lather: Barrister and Mann - Cheshire - Soap

  • Toner: Thayers - Lemon - Toner

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


A very pleasant shave today. I was on autopilot - enjoying the scent and the feel of my second use of this razor.

How are you liking the Puma so far?

I like it. It's supposed to be 6/8 but has had enough use that it isn't quite there. Still, it has a bit more heft than the 5/8. The steel is what what it's cracked up to be. Took a very nice Ozuku edge. I'll move this one along if I can find a 7/8 in great shape out there. I have a 6/8 Dubl Duck Goldedge coming. Looking forward to that and hoping the scales aren't disintegrating. The scales on my 5/8 Dubl Duck are becoming noodles.
