Share your shave of the day!
Thursday, July 11, 2024: Thingari Thursday
- Preshave: Proraso Green Preshave
- Brush: Chisel & Hound Blaireau de la République with 24mm G5 Synthetic
- Razor: River Razors Kamisori
- Lather: Zingari Man Bon Monsieur
- Postshave: Naissance 702 Witch Hazel
- Postshave: Zingari Man Bon Monsieur Recovery Splash
- Postshave: Nivea After Shave Balm
Bon Monsieur is probably my favorite soap at the moment – a really great scent, and a great base as well. After my Sunday hone, shaving with the kamisori is still as comfortable as before, but a slight bit sharper. Nice!
Have a good evening!

Woof I was tired last night for this one. Yesterday was a looooong day.
This Hawkridge aftershave doesn’t seem to be sold in the US. I found it a while ago at a Marshall’s or T.J. Maxx. People on Fragrantica say it smells like JPG Les Males.
Yesterday was a looooong day.
Long vacation day, though, right? So hopefully still nice?
Not nice at all 😭
3 doctor’s appointments for my wife, including one of them an hour away by car, and one where we got some bad news!
Physically exhausting!
I’m so glad to have this time off, though.
Oh no!
Wishing her all the best and a speedy recovery!
Thank you kindly!

- Brush: Zenith 506 N XS (extra soft horse)
- Razor: Zwilling J. A. Henckels Friodur 72-V (13/16", quarter hollow or near wedge, stainless steel)
- Lather: Barrister and Mann – Beaudelaire
- Post Shave: Barrister and Mann – Lavanille
- Fragrance: Brut Original
Tremendous shave today. One of those where everything just clicked. Super slick, drippy lather, a silky smooth Frio wedge, intoxicating šmellz. This is how it’s supposed to be.
Lavanille is a master piece. I keep being surprised by new facets of it.

Razor: Hartford 4/8 Full Hollow

Toner: Thayers - Rose - Toner

Aftershave: Zingari Man - The Socialite - Aftershave
2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
The Socialite was a perfect choice to combat the heat wave we’re having. The morning was actually quite pleasant at zero dark thirty and as I type this in the early evening, there’s a breeze that is keeping things quite tolerable … so long as you don’t move very much.
This razor belongs to u/Impressive_Donut114 and this was a test shave. I only have one, 4/8 razor myself, a Fredrick Reynolds, and I used it yesterday. The edge on that razor is excellent. Today’s shave with the 4/8 Hartford was every bit as good as yesterday’s but it was a little closer and a little more comfortable. A very successful shave.

- Brush: Muninn Woodworks w/ C&H V19 Fanchurian
- Razor: Wüsthof 220 “Barber’s King” 7/8, Extra Hollow Square Point
- Lather: 345 Soap Co. - Fresh Cut Fade
- Post Shave: 345 Soap Co. - Fresh Cut Fade Aftershave Splash
- Fragrance: 345 Soap Co. - Fresh Cut Fade EdP
Barbershop day today! Went and got myself a Fresh Cut Fade. Dude I went to is solid and does clean work. Honestly, I should go to him on a regular basis. He’s very consistent. He can’t shave with an open blade
I also shaved off my full goatee today. Rocked that one for over a year. No trimming, 3 passes, no nicks. Still got it.
I’ll probably keep clean shaven for another week or so, then start forming another one. I enjoy wearing a goatee. The Mrs also likes me with a little facial hair too.
