Thursday, March 7, 2024: Les jeudis du Père Lucien
My hot take: The Zenith XS horse is floppy (not so good), but wips up a creamy lather in no time (excellent). And I completely failed the alliteration, but Thursdays are hard mkay β there definitely is a void to be filled by say, Thurman's Soap Company, or Thunderbolt Thoaps, or thomething of that kind.
I haven't counted the number of straight shaves I have done (I'm probably not that far off 100 shaves), but I get the impression that I start getting the hang of it.
Have a good night!
