Good shave. Spearhead is excellent.
Nice shave this morning, as usual with Varen and it's sheep tallow base. I think I've reached the point where the widening ring of death significantly hinders brush loading. I'll have to smush that down before my next Varening.
Hey, I also used shaved with a Stirling ring of death today!

The Stirling ring of death on continues. Once it starts it always seems to last much longer than I expect it to.
it always seems to last much longer than I expect it to.
Can confirm 😅
🌿 Fougère Friday: L'Avventura🪻
The bright fougère of L'Avventura was very nice this morning, especially in combination with Heather.
The blade in the MM24 is finally getting to that point where it's just a smooth shave with no aggression whatsoever. Love it!

This aftershave was inexpensive on Amazon in the US and smells great!
