    Noticed some pokey hairs so spent a few minutes after the shave sussing them out with a pair of tweezers. We'll see next time if it made any difference.

    I've been seeing lots of weather alerts about low humidity creating dangerous fire conditions, so figured I'd use two balm products, one thicker than the other.

    • Brush: Dogwood Handcrafts Tabak Oridjinal, now with 28 mm Gelousy knot
    • Razor: Böker – Abalone (6/8", full hollow, carbon steel, French point)
    • Lather: Mäurer & Wirtz – Tabac Original

    Super smooth shave with the Abalone today. This is really a great razor (if you keep the sharp point in mind). It's heftier, possibly stiffer, than my other Bökers, but the grind doesn't seem thicker. Either way, it's right down my alley.
