Each cat their own rat.
Never heard that. I like it 🙂
Shit, I just read @[email protected]'s skin care advice on your other question (thanks Dave, btw!). I had forgotten about your menthol sensitivity. Speick has menthol.
I overdid it with SSL and after my second AA with it it got vetoed by my wife😅

This is the razor that taught me that there's a "numero sign" (№) in the unicode spec.
"Le Thiernois" is France's equivalent to the "Solingen" or "Eskilstuna" brand (and, to a lesser extent, "Sheffield") used by small manufacturers who think that their own name carries less weight than the fact that they are part of the knife industry in a city famous for it. Nowadays, "Le Thiernois" with that same art is a model of Thiers Issard, but this one's still from before TI became the only known razor maker in Thiers.
It's my only round tip 14 which makes it a great autopilot straight because it's basically impossible to poke your cheek or nick your earlobe with this unless you do it on purpose.
The extra soft horse is a nice change of pace. The big horse hair bristles lather more slowly that boar or badger knots, but that also makes it easier to avoid fluffy lather.
Mühle Rasurlotion and Speick. They're alcohol + witch hazel with a light fresh scent. The witch hazel makes me optimistic about the "plays nice with my skin" part.
Pitralon.

It was my AA soap two years in a row.

For today's edition of running through the 14 section of my den, I chose the venerable Fili 14. It's really easy to understand why they are so popular.
Big, elegant, soft as a feather, and butter smooth, you can just wipe the stubble of your face. So nice.
Silly joke because of the F(riedrich) W. Engels razor. If Engels made one, his colleague and best friend K(arl) W. Marx probably dabbled in it as well when they took breaks from theorising the liberation of the proletariat?
Ok, I'll show myself out
Definitely with a try
K. W. Marx razor when?
Looking forward to reading it!
