Months prior to this review, when I first unpacked my new Mühle R41, I thought to myself, “How much different can this razor be than what I’m already using?” I should have known better. Just for starters, the Mühle R41 is significantly heavier than any of my Merkur or Edwin Jagger razors. The weight difference is noticeable even without the assistance of a digital scale.
Twillory Memorial Day/Father’s Day Sale
Memorial Day Weekend is upon us. A weekend for swimming, grilling, day drinking, and sales. So many sales. There are a lot of sales this weekend that I could have sorted through, put together some picks, and posted my favorites. But Twillory’s sale caught my eye. If you want to find out why I love my Twillory shirts so much, click here to read my full write up from last summer.
Blaviar “Sigma Aftershave Balm Review
These days, not too many shaving products appear on the wet shaving scene without my knowledge. Sure, there are plenty of brands I have yet to try (don’t worry, I’m coming for you). But I am usually aware. So, when Blaviar contacted me about trying one of their new aftershave balms, I was a little surprised. Here was a company with a product unfamiliar to me, looking for an independent, honest review. I took this as an unique opportunity to try a shaving product about which I had no prior knowledge or opinion.
Weekend Reading
It’s been a pretty mild week. I watched a terrible movie. Soap Commander re-opened for business (Congrats!). It rained too much. I think the most exciting thing this week was that insane first lap of the Spanish Grand Prix! But other than that, not too much happened around here. I’m thankful for weeks like these. They’re few and far between, but usually much needed when they do arrive. We’re watching two family dogs this week, so that means five dogs total here, plus two kids, plus two adults. We needed an easy week to manage all that. It looks like this weekend is more of the same, so here’s a few things to get you started on a relaxing few days.
Movie Night: The Broadway Melody-1929
Warning: spoilers ahead…not that it matters.
I’m going to be honest here. I was not looking forward to this one. I’ve challenged myself with remaining open-minded. Willing to not pre-judge any of the movies I’m going to watch. But I had seen this one before, and I remember disliking it. A lot. Even with the wine. I figured this time I would be watching sober, thus making it more arduous.
