Brush: Zenith 506B MB (27 mm × 55 mm Manchurian badger)
Razor: Böker Abalone
Lather: Boendoebaard Woesteling
Post Shave: Brut Original
Fragrance: Brut Original
I was talking to u/putneycj about live points on straight razors and how they can be tricky when learning to shave with a straight yesterday, so I felt like using my pretty perilously pointy Böker Abalone, … aaaaaaand promptly pricked myself in the cheek 😅.
Funny how that can still happen after countless shaves with this razor. @[email protected] will point out that I could/should mute the point, and he’s right, but somehow this feature and the challenge that comes with it amuse me, so I’ll keep it live.
Woesteling is a Brut dupe, so this shave is almost a trickhole. I was called out for smelling overly grandpa-y by my wife, but on second sniff it was deemed acceptable. I count that in the “win” column.
Oh, and I think I haven’t enjoyed a brush as much as I enjoy this Zenith Manchurian since early 2023 when I broke in the MOAR BOAR. This little lather monster has a wonderful face feel. A bit of scritch, just enough to be there and feel nice, a good backbone, an ergonomic handle. Noice.
Well, some people need the adrenaline rush of living dangerously :)
I love the idea of a Brut trickhole. Brut, itself, is just so nostalgic for me. I just learned that Wholly Kaw’s La Fougère Parfaite is a dupe of Fabergé Brut and I am a big fan of Sri’s work! Now we need the proper alliterative day for this. [Friday is too obvious for LFP]

I’m coming up completely blank for alliterations. We will need help from @[email protected], he always finds something
That’s a difficult one 😰
A lot of languages have Friday starting with a ‘P’ (e.g., Hungarian ‘Péntek’), but that’s unfortunately the best I have.
Thanks for trying!
The gift that keeps on giving 🩸
