2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
This was my second use of this exact setup. I paid a little more attention to lather quality and to the scent personality this time around. I was struck by this being a woody, heavier scent and not the lighter, citrusy scents that I associate with Italian themed fragrances. Nonetheless, I like it a lot. It is definitely an all-rounder for me.
Today’s shave was a shave test with a newly-honed C-MON Special owned by u/coco_for_cocoapuffs. Great little razor that gave me a very close comfortable shave.

- Fragrance: Atelier Rebul – 1895
We went to visit Atelier Rebul and we picked up 1895 and Bosphorus. This one, 1895, opens like a classic citrussy cologne, but turns more earthy and woody. It reminds me a bit of D.R.Harris Marlborough.

An excellent complementary non-dickhole shave this morning. Omnibus is a great base.
I’m pretty sure this morning’s shave solidified the MMOC as razor of choice for my upcoming trip and, by extension, AA. It’s an awesome little razor.
Gotta stay aero for the bike ride.
lol, you mean because of the open comb?
That works, too, but I’m more jesting about shaving and being smooth… like a swimmer.
Ah yes, for the aero gains!

Today is my birthday, so I used my birth-quarter razor. It’s not my favorite razor, but it’ll do. Setting #3 works well for me, but since I use it so infrequently I figured I’d try setting 9 on the last pass. I don’t think it adds any efficiency, but I did get a couple of very minor weepers, so it adds to blade feel. I already knew, but aggressive razors are not for me (straight razors seem to be an exception to this rule).
Happy Birthday 🎂
Mountain Laurel++
Thank you. Mountain Laurel might be my next tub kill. Great scent and even better soap base.
Happy birthday! 🎉
Thanks!
A belated happy birthday! 🥳
Thanks!
