My unofficial morning tally of yesterday's March Madness match-up has SBS dropping out today.
Scrape time: Thu 20 Mar 2025, 07:03:58 GMT
Absolutely wonderful shave today with The Fat (tallow), the smooth Dandy, old-school Hâttric, and the new-to-me Chubby super badger that I bought off @archsoup on the r/wetshaving discord. The Super Badger is even softer than my already soft manchurian, but it's so dense that the backbone is still there. It lathered The Fat like a champ and I'm glad I bought it. It occurred to me that even though none of the hardware or software used today is vintage, this shave could have happened half a century ago and looked exactly the same. No recent modern technology required to get a good shave.
