Yesterday's shave...



Today's shave...

Musashi No. 2 (Gentleman’s Nod) yuzu wood
Shave 1 ・ 148 g left ・ $25 / shave

The only thing I don’t like about wet shaving is picking a soap each day. I mean, I do like it, immensely. Otherwise I would never have collected over two hundred tubs of the stuff. But I don’t care for the indecision and all the time spent wondering what I will leather up each morning. I suppose I could just stick with one soap like any other normal human. But in practice that’s dreary. Same old, same old every day just drains the joy out of a shave. So I’ve been looking for a compromise, something between flitting from soap to soap day by day on the one hand and stolidly plowing my way through an entire puck week after week on the other. The answer came to me this morning when I remembered a thread Nero posted years ago on another forum. He suggested picking one soap for an entire week, and then sticking with it. He let his subscribers define ‘week’ any way they wanted to. Very generous, that.

Since I’m hooked on the Amakuni razor and the Kai blades, I figure I need a Japanese-inspired soap to complete the theme. So, for the next ‘week’ you’ll be reading about Musashi No. 2, named after the great swordsman from Japan’s samurai era. After one shave I can happily report that the base is brilliant. Philly cream cheese thick and as slick as a river rock. The cushion’s about as solid as the earth’s crust. Smells good too – citrus and wood, not really breaking new ground, but clean and easy on the nose. It’s going to be a good week.

What a coincidence: did a quick, leisurely reread of 'Book of Five Rings' today.
