      2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.

    I’m returning to Bleu Man for the day and using my Puma 89 again. Such an enjoyable experience using a 75 year old straight razor with the excellence of modern-day soaps, splashes and fragrances.

      I wonder how different it really was 75 years ago. Were soaps that much worse? If Palmolive sticks, Mitchell’s wool fat and hard milled Klar soaps are a guide, it might have been quite nice then as well.

        Well, today, there’s bound to be more choice available to consumers. And, there are bound to be more artisans that aren’t limited to marketing locally. As for soap quality, today’s top tier soaps are certainly not worse than the old favorites. The rest is subjective. While I find MWF, Klar, and Tabac very nice, I also have Wholly Kaw, Barrister and Man, WestMan, Faena, Eufros, and others that I think are better product lines. And the variety of fragrances today is amazing. You wouldn’t see something like Leviathan as a popular scent in 1949 (though The Holy Black’s Gunpowder Spice would probably play well).

    Tuesday, May 28, 2024: Zingari Zischtig

    After a very long time, another shave with the Tedalus Essence. I definitely should use it more often – but so many razors, so little beard! Bon Monsieur continues to impress.

    Have a good night!
