Another change I note after discontinuing posting my shave of the day: I use old-style barbershop aftershave — those in tall narrow-necked bottles — more often.

This morning I used another Mama Bear shave stick — Hydrogen, this time — and I am again greatly impressed with the quality of the lather. I am using boar brushes, but I'm sure badger would work as well. Well worth a try. The same soaps are available in a tub, of course, but I do enjoy a shave stick.

Some shave sticks don't show up there, but search on (e.g.) "Spellbound Woods shave stick" to find them.

A couple of new things, and a thought on the shift in focus in modern razors from feel and performance (an issue now resolved) to materials and appearance.

I did say I would continue to blog shaving news and discoveries. This morning I had to mention that Phoenix Artisan's Quantum razor is (at long last) back in stock:

https://leisureguy.ca/2025/01/04/quantum-returns/

I like this razor a lot. It's a modern take on the highly esteemed Eclipse Red Ring, and I wrote a review of it for Sharpologist:

My shave-of-the-day posts will now be intermittent. I'll still post if I try something new or make a discovery, but no longer six days a week. I've been doing it for a little over 20 years, so now I'll take a break from the daily posts. You can, of course, search my blog for a particular product and see whether I've tried it and if so, what I thought of it.

I do love the Quantum razor. Maybe he will reissue it if he gets enough requests for it (with the "notify me" flag).

Today I used another soap I had previously dismissed for its mediocre lather, and I confirmed that its lather is perfectly fine if developed with good technique.

Another discovery, this time with l'Occitane Cade shaving soap, which up until now produced mediocre lather — but when I really worked up the lather, brushing briskly for 45 seconds or so, the lather was terrific.

Two discoveries in one shave — excellent, given that my current average is probably less than 0.1 per shave.
