Hiatus is one of my favorite summer scents. Very enjoyable shave today! I thought I would use the Overlander to help u/putneycj3 get it into the top 3 on June's hardware list.

  • Brush: Omega Roma Colossea 31 mm
  • Razor: HNDRX Razor
  • Razor: KAI Captain J-7 kamisori shavette
  • Blade: Derby Premium
  • Blade: KAI Captain Protouch MG
  • Lather: Summer Break Soaps - Rope Swing
  • Post Shave: Störtebekker - Tortuga AS Tonic spray

2 passes on the head, 1 on the face (mostly to touch up the lines of the circle beard). Comfy head shave, a few blood spots around the beard with the shavette.

So I finally did my head shave, just forgot to post it on time. I had quite a lot of stubble to knock down this time, but the HNDRX managed - much to my surprise, since it almost perfectly emulates a cartridge razor and those usually struggle at that length. The only other flaw I could find with it so far, apart from being not good at beard lines/contouring, is that the gaps under the blades (lather channels?) are rather narrow/thin and hair with soap gets caught easily there. In other words, it clogs easier than e.g. my Leaf Thorn or Stando Perun. Not as easily as other cartridge razors do, but it's noticeable. I also think it's time to change blades before the next shave. I kinda want to see how it performs with a BIC, just need to snap one perfectly in the middle. I think it's worth it to test it more, currently I'm somewhat in a honeymoon phase with it.

As for Rope Swing, the heat over here is still in full swing so it was an easy choice. Provided some much needed cooldown. I had a nice evening despite sweating like a marathon runner while not doing much, had a family barbecue with my parents and we watched the World Cup game of our team afterwards (narrow last-minute win against CIV). The current soccer world cup being held in America and Mexico means very late games for us in GER, but I can do with that.

I was surprised by how close the game was with Côte d’Ivoire. It almost looked like they were going to pull off the win!

Honestly they were the better team for long periods of the game, but our joker Undav brought the win. I seriously thought we'd be lucky with a 1-1 draw until the final goal. CIV can definitely be proud of their performance though, it was a hard match!

Today, I'm working on my DFS speed run. I usually go for a full three-pass BBS. My whole morning bathroom routine finished in half the normal duration.

Have a good day.
