Nutting

  • Brush: Zenith 506U N (50/50 horse mane/tail)
  • Razor: Böker Abalone
  • Lather: Wholly Kaw – Noce di Cocco
  • Post Shave: Abbate y La Mantia – Don Josè
  • Fragrance: Abbate y La Mantia – Don Josè

Perfect day to break out the Noce di Cocco smush. I should have so sooner, because it has lost almost all scent, oops 🤦 Still, the soap still lathered like a charm, and thanks to my buddy Don Josè, this shave still smelled great, and on theme.

Like I predicted it would happen, I got complacent today and stabbed myself with the spike point of the Abalone. Luckily it was a tiny puncture, and it served a good reminder to respect this barbed beauty.

lol! Been there. Done that. Even though we know we'll do this, we challenge fate anyway.

An argument could be made that all open blade shaving is challenging fate😅
