June 29, 2023 – Back to Bama

  • Brush: Declaration Grooming B3 Theodore “Unicorn Ivory”
  • Razor: Gillette Post-War Fat Handle Tech
  • Blade: 7am Hi Platinum Durablade (1)
  • Lather: Barrister and Mann – Le Grand Chypre
  • Post Shave: Barrister and Mann – Le Grand Chypre

The 11-year old has been at Space Camp this week. Graduation/check-out is tomorrow, which means I get to spend today traveling up there to pick her up. And since my company has declared Monday an impromptu holiday, that means I woke up this morning on day 1 of a 6 day weekend. Nice.

Decided I wanted to smell extra fancy today, so I broke out Le Grand Chypre for my head shave. I also decided I didn’t want to have to think too hard about my shave, so I reached for my post-war Tech. Whipped up a nice lather and shaved my dome largely on autopilot.

This was my first experience with a 7am Hi Platinum Durablade. I picked them up from Maggard’s a while back just for shiggles. Not a bad blade on the first shave. But I don’t know if any blade has ever really disappointed me in the post-war Tech (aside from a Shark). I’ll give it a try in another razor later in the weekend.
