Wednesday, November 6, 2024: Et in Arcadia ego

  • Preshave: Proraso Green Preshave
  • Brush: Zenith 506U XS Horse 🐎
  • Razor: Mühle R41 (3-piece)
  • Blade: Astra Superior Platinum (21)
  • Lather: Stirling Arcadia
  • Postshave: Naissance 702 Witch Hazel
  • Postshave: Terre d'Hermès After Shave Lotion
  • Postshave: Nivea After Shave Balm

Second shave with a DE in a row – this time with better results. I could have made more effort in the chin area, but overall, satisfying closeness.

I checked yesterday, and Arcadia is a soap that I have had since 2022, and on which I haven't made much progress (just like with Spiced). Only Le Grand Chypre has been longer in my den, but I expect to kill LGC next year. Arcadia and Spiced, on the other hand, I'm afraid that I will have to mention in my testament...

Finally, cursed be the person who designed the Terre d'Hermès after shave bottle 🌩️🌩️🌩️. How difficult can it be? Literally everyone else gets it right – but Terre d'Hermès manages to have such a ridiculously short neck that it's impossible to dose correctly.

Have a good evening!
