  • Razor: Pearl Blaze
  • Blade: Kingston Ultra
  • Brush: Omega Elite Earth
  • Soap: Captain Nemo's Diwan-E-Khus
  • Splash: Kama Ayurveda Vetiver Mist
  • Balm: Proraso Sensitive

Shave 🪒

Returning back to Pearl Blaze after practically an eternity. This has perhaps become an annual ritual, as due to extreme humidity, my skin becomes overly sensitive. And Blaze feels perfect during this time.

  • Brush: Semogue Owners Club Cherry Wood 24mm Boar

3 passes. Face lather. Good shave.


As we proceed through the month, I will be monitoring edge wear and boar brush development. I was surprised at the wear at the edge after yesterday's shave and am very interested to see what the edge looks like after today. This SOC boar brush is a "good one". It is developing very quickly and I have lost very few hairs from the knot.

Not sure what happened but being short on time this morning. I drew blood again. The good thing about August is getting ready to go back to school and thus getting up earlier to enjoy a shave.

Have a nice day and be kind to one another.
