Share your shave of the day for Tuesday!
August 22, 2023
- Brush: Summer Break Soaps w/Maggard 28mm Silvertip Badger
- Razor: Gillette Slim Adjustable (I-2)
- Blade: Personna 74 (24)
- Lather: Oaken Lab - Far Afield - Soap
- Post Shave: Florida Water - Cologne
- Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Mood Indigo - Balm
Florida Water - citrus and a hint of bay rum. I can see why people might like it. There’s nothing in the ingredients except water, alcohol, and fragrance… maybe a little bit of coloring, but no skin food at all.
Give me your opinion:
For a wetshaving wiki, based off the reddit wiki (with permission), do you prefer WIKI1 or WIKI2? Just curious what you might think of the general layout, features, organization, etc. Both have dark themes, but the first over you have to enable it.
Edit: I’ve been told the first link doesn’t work for some reason.

I like WIKI1 mainly because it is different. I’m certain that the information can be organized equally well in both formats.I like the idea that wetshaving.social takes the best features from r/Wetshaving, adds new ones, and develops its own identity.
Thanks for the input! I want to like option 1. I just don’t know how the organization will work. There are Shelves, Books, Chapters and Pages.
I want to skip Shelves and Books, because there just isn’t enough info to justify them. I have to play around and see if only using Chapters and Pages is intuitive to navigate.

August 22, 2023 – The Great Spice Off – The Village Soap Smith Old Spice Type 2
- Brush: Chisel and Hound False Kamani Fanchurian V18
- Razor: GEM Micromatic Clog-Pruf
- Blade: Personna GEM PTFE (3)
- Preshave: Baxter Shave Tonic
- Lather: The Village Soap Smith – Old Spice Type
- Post Shave: Old Spice – Vintage
Back from vacation so back to the Great Spice Off! Less soap definitely the way to go with this thirsty bugger. Kicked up a good lather still, though drank up a lot of water still. A bit tricky (or at least time consuming) to load it up because of how thirsty it is but eventually got it slick and had a nicely cushioned shave with the Clogpruf. This was actually one of my better recent shaves with a GEM, which had given me some issues that last couple times for whatever reason.
Still not much scent off this during or after the shave so I’m thinking using even less soap won’t change that but we’ll see with the final shave.
