    • Brush: Maggard 24mm Tuxedo Synthetic
    • Razor: Chiseled Face - Legacy Raw Titanium (#69)
    • Blade: Bolzano Superinox (Egypt) (4)
    • Lather: Barrister & Mann - Diamond - Soap
    • Post Shave: Spearhead - Seaforth! Heather - Toner
    • Post Shave: allMan - Refined - Balm

    Was scooping a smush out of this tub for someone on Discord, so being within reach made it the obvious choice to use today. Soft Heart is probably my least favorite B&M base, but I still love it. It's just a little too poofy for my refined taste. Very slick, though.

  • Thursday, September 19, 2024: Narcisse + Stank

    After yesterday's September BVWSC shave, this was a preview for October's. Narcisse is very nice, but after getting rid of my bottle of Floid, I'm missing a neutral, fits-with-everything aftershave. Maybe I'll try the stuff @[email protected] uses.

    The Epsilon is to my mind much more stanky than good old Tabac – it feels like opening a hermetically sealed box of your grandfather. It has its charm, but I haven't aquired this aquired taste yet.

    Have a good evening!

  • The Thu 19 Sep 2024

    • Brush: Semogue Owner's Club (cherry wood and boar) (50)
    • Razor: Zwilling J. A. Henckels Friodur 17 (NOS, 7/8", hollow ground, stainless steel)
    • Lather: Abbate Y La Mantia – Koké
    • Post Shave: Abbate Y La Mantia – Koké
    • Fragrance: House of Mammoth / Noble Otter / Declaration Grooming – Cerberus

    Today is Theme Thursday over on the other place, and we giving a nod to NZ Suffragette Day (Shave with a a product considered to have a more feminine scent, e.g. florals. BONUS if you shave with a product made in New Zealand.)

    I don't have anything made in New Zealand. Koké could totally be a feminine scent though, and it has a Polynesian theme going, and I believe New Zealand is a part of Polynesia.

    Delightful shave with great šmells.

    • Brush: Zenith B40 28mm Boar

    • Razor: Thiers Issard Le Transatlantic 7/8" Full Hollow Round Point

    • Lather: WestMan Shaving - Alma - Soap

    • Toner: Thayers - Rose - Toner

    • Aftershave: WestMan Shaving - Alma - Aftershave Balm

    2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.

    I think Alma fits the bill for today's theme. It's main notes are Rose and Passion Fruit, and this would be a very feminine scent were it not for the musk that is blended into the fragrance. This is very cleverly done. Soaps from WestMan are first class.

  • Sep 19, 2024 - Figarose

    • Brush: Trotter Handcrafts Space Portal 25mm Mühle STF Synthentic Knot
    • Razor: Karve Shaving Co. Overlander
    • Blade: Gillette 7 O’Clock Super Stainless (Green) [15]
    • Lather: Barrister and Mann - Figarose - Soap (Soft Heart)
    • Post Shave: Westman Shaving - Nirvana - Splash
    • Fragrance: Barrister and Mann - Just Right for a Tuesday - Eau de Parfum

    I forget how much I like Soft Heart, and Figarose is such an incredible scent from Will.

    Rating: 4.5/5
