I don't blog my shaves much anymore, but today's razor was so good, I had to note it.

Recently I've been using Coachman (AKA Lustray Coachman, Clubman Coachman) aftershave — v. inexpensive, v. old-fashioned, and, withal, v. pleasant.

I'm soon going to list a set of Simpson silvertip badger shaving brushes on eBay. Details in this post:

Another change I note after discontinuing posting my shave of the day: I use old-style barbershop aftershave — those in tall narrow-necked bottles — more often.

This morning I used another Mama Bear shave stick — Hydrogen, this time — and I am again greatly impressed with the quality of the lather. I am using boar brushes, but I'm sure badger would work as well. Well worth a try. The same soaps are available in a tub, of course, but I do enjoy a shave stick.

Some shave sticks don't show up there, but search on (e.g.) "Spellbound Woods shave stick" to find them.

Two things I noted in this morning's shave.

Using the RazoRock triple-milled shave stick, and more thoughts on modern razor design.

A couple of new things, and a thought on the shift in focus in modern razors from feel and performance (an issue now resolved) to materials and appearance.

I bloomed my soap! It didn't make a big difference. You're welcome for this PSA.
I did say I would continue to blog shaving news and discoveries. This morning I had to mention that Phoenix Artisan's Quantum razor is (at long last) back in stock:

I like this razor a lot. It's a modern take on the highly esteemed Eclipse Red Ring, and I wrote a review of it for Sharpologist:

My shave-of-the-day posts will now be intermittent. I'll still post if I try something new or make a discovery, but no longer six days a week. I've been doing it for a little over 20 years, so now I'll take a break from the daily posts. You can, of course, search my blog for a particular product and see whether I've tried it and if so, what I thought of it.

Lathering technique and a great razor make up for a mediocre soap.

I do love the Quantum razor. Maybe he will reissue it if he gets enough requests for it (with the "notify me" flag).
