    • Brush: Chisel and Hound – Flame On with v26 Fanchurian
    • Razor: Böker – 14er (8/8", extra hollow, carbon steel, square point)
    • Lather: Barrister and Mann – Beaudelaire
    • Post Shave: Spearhead Shaving Company Seaforth! - Heather
    • Fragrance: Spearhead Shaving Company Seaforth! - Heather

    Heather is meant to be a modern twist on the fougère theme, “an invigorating, refreshingly classic scent without feeling dated.”. B[e]audelaire (I can’t unsee that typo), is a stanky dark twist on the fougère theme and the two extremes play together very nicely, adding to each other without clashing. Noice.

    Now, on to do Monday things.

      I can’t unsee that typo

      Hear! Hear! I know what you mean. I have a soap called “Doc Holiday” that is themed on the famous Doc Holliday who was best known as one of the gunfighters at the O.K. Corral in Tombstone, Arizona.

      Like you, I can’t unsee this typo.

      Edit: 15er;

    • Brush: Zenith B44 28mm Boar
    • Razor: Geneva Cutlery Co. Henry’s X 6/8" Hollow Ground Square Point
    • Lather: The Cajun Blade - Cuba Libre - Soap
    • Toner: Thayers - Coconut - Toner
    • Aftershave: The Cajun Blade - Cuba Libre Aftersauce - Aftershave

    2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


    I was challenged to hone a razor with my left hand then to shave with it using my right hand. This was the right hand shave portion of the challenge. I just enjoy shaving. Doesn’t really matter which hand I use :)

    Inspired by @snooting@wetshav.ing 's use of a Streamline, I decided it was high time to whip mine out.

    Most people love this razor for it's looks, build quality, and prestige – but often say the shave it gives is "not the best". I'm one of the few who love the way it shaves. It's on the mild end of GEM style razors, but efficiency is still great.

    Might as well plug this wiki entry that I copied over from Reddit for posterity: https://wiki.wetshav.ing/Curated_Articles/Streamline

    November 10th, 2025: SLS

    • Brush: Rad Dinosaur Creations "Nebulagance" - TurnNShave Quartermoon 26mm Synthetic
    • Razor: Ever-Ready Streamline
    • Blade: Accuforge GEM Microcoat (3)
    • Lather: Zingari Man - The Watchman - Soap
    • Post Shave: Zingari Man - The Watchman - Recovery Splash
    • Post Shave: Oleo & Co. - Facial Toner - Toner
    • Fragrance: Chiseled Face - Summer Storm - EdP

    Super smooth shave from the Streamline tonight, probably my best yet. I think this razor likes a steeper shave angle than other GEMs I've used (handle closer to face).
