Sep 3, 2023 - Sample September: Barrbarr

  • Brush: Craving Shaving Blue Bronze 26mm Crave Knot
  • Razor: Betued Shavette
  • Blade: Feather Artist Club Professional [2]
  • Lather: Noble Otter - Barrbarr - Soap
  • Post Shave: Summer Break Soaps - Valedictorian - Aftershave

Today was a bloody comedy of errors. I managed to give myself a couple nicks due to what I'll call a sudden loss of hand-eye coordination, but the actual shave was surprisingly good. I didn't have any feedback from the aftershave.

Afterwards, while cleaning the razor, the blade clamping mechanism unexpectedly popped open. The AC blade fell into the sink and went straight down the drain. I guess I'll be trying to figure out how to take apart the sink trap later.

Luckily the scents of Barrbarr and Valedictorian made the experience better.

Rating: 3.5/5

Barrbarr++; and Valedictorian is one of my all time favourites.

Digging AC blades out of sink traps wasn't in the hobby description when I joined😬

Good luck with that!
