Late Night Shave | SOTN • 10 Jun 2026
SOTD • 10 Jun 2026
Posting after a rather long hiatus.
The evening had promised an early night, office concluded at a civil hour, bed beckoned with uncharacteristic mercy. Alas, insomnia had other plans. Rather than stare at the ceiling, I decided to go for a late-night shave.
Mid-preparation I discovered my shaving brush had mysteriously vanished. A brief search yielded nothing, so I turned to Blinkit and was quite honestly, pleasantly surprised; they sell decent enough shaving brushes now. Progress, I suppose.
This was my first outing with the Urbanmooch synthetic brush. It is supposed to imitate badger hair, although I have never used any real animal hair brush so i’m not the best judge in this regard (hoping on getting on this year). Still, it lathered the vicco cream with impressive speed and produced a pretty rich and dense foam.
It has been some time since I’ve been active in the community. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed observing everyone’s excellent SOTDs from the sidelines. Decided that it was time to stop lurking and rejoin the ranks properly.
Sleep remains elusive, which explains this post at 2 AM. One must make use of the wakeful hours I guess.
I must confess I’m beginning to feel the familiar itch for a razor upgrade. The heart grows restless, even (or especially) in matters of wet shaving.
P.S. Reintroduced Tata cold-pressed coconut oil as pre-shave after a long while. The result was excellent
