Mysteries abound in my shaving space!

I posted one of them in the brushes section. How do you tell the difference between a mixed badger/boar and a badger knot when the handles are identical? I have SOC Taj handles for both the badger and the Mistura. I went with the idea that the stiffer knot has boar hair in it.

My other mystery is a tub of the very nice Noble Otter Bare. NO LONGER A MYSTERY. I cannot find a record of when I got this tub. In reading over my shave logs, I stopped using this tub in 2023 when I decided to us up tubs purchased in 2021! What made me think it was "new" this year was that I don't remember seeing it in the soap drawer, but it was buried in the back, so most likely this was a case of "out of sight, out of mind!"

I had been trying to use up all the older soaps, got it down to just six, and then started buying only the soaps I really liked. So I have lots of emails for the new tubs. Except for the Noble Otter!

Today I complete 60 revolutions around the sun. As a high school classmate wrote on FB, I am at the weird age where old people think I'm young and young people think I'm old!!
There is cake (no candles, because fire hazard!!) and I just may have sampled the cake yesterday.

This morning, my also 60 y/o Gillette Slim did the honors, with a new Personna Red and set to 5. The Wald Calyx and PAA Scentsless rounded out the gear. A wonderful shave!

Now I am relaxing with a new book (sort of urban fantasy?) by an author who typically writes crime/police procedural novels. And of course, I have a good cup of coffee next me. Later, homemade burritos and something entertaining on the telly. Not a crazy day, just a relaxing one!
