Wednesday SOTD Thread - April 3rd, 2024

Wednesday, April 3, 2024: Marduk Mittwoch

Preshave: Proraso Green Preshave
Brush: Semogue C3 Galahad Horse 🐎
Razor: J.A. Henckels Friodur 72
Lather: Abbate y La Mantia Marduk
Postshave: Naissance 702 Witch Hazel
Postshave: Floid The Genuine
Postshave: Nivea After Shave Balm

A very good shave - I used a ridiculous amount of soap, which is apparently what is required in order to get a good lather going with hard water. I did something right when honing the Friodur – trouble is, I don't quite know what.

Have a good night!

- Watched it, thanks! Great video, with very helpful illustrations, and you dumbed down the material science to the point where I had the impression understanding 😂
  You seem to be on your way to wetstonetube fame - continue the good work!
- @gcgallant
  On the watchlist!

- Very nice video, thanks! May I ask why you rekilled the edge on the 8k? Do you think there would already be enough fatigued material there?
trouble is, I don’t quite know what
I’ll be doing a Principles of Honing video in the next day or two. Hopefully, there will be some information there that will be helpful.
- Looking forward to it!

Weinstrasse and Armonía are a fun combo, very green and lively, and — most importantly — Djunior-approved.

Kids are a ton of fun at that age. Are there scents that Djunior does not like?
- I think he still takes his cues from me, so he mostly approves 😅
  But there are some scents here really likes and will compliment unpromtped, like Haverford (of course), and now Armonía

A fantastic scent which will be sorely missed. I'm down to the last few shaves in this tub. If I was smart I would get a tub in Omnibus before they're gone "forever".

Another wonderful Wednesday shave.

The brush, soap, and soap holder all came from Phil’s shop some years ago, while the razor was from the ‘Nook’s BST.

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.

This little 4/8 Reynolds is a ton of fun to use. For today's shave, Amazelnut was like an amuse bouche followed by a Leviathan main course. Wonderful!
