    • Brush: Wolf Whiskers - “Gianmaria” w/Maggard 26mm Synthetic

    • Lather: Spearhead Shaving Company - Seaforth! Leather - Soap
    • Post Shave: Chatillon Lux - Nefertiti - Aftershave
    • Post Shave: Zingari Man - The Stargazer - Aftershave Serum

    Great shave! I have finally cracked the code on this razor. I was inspired to revisit the honing of this razor when I saw @gcgallant@wetshav.ing using a Torrey Razor Co. yesterday, which is from the same factory as this Worcester Razor Co. The factory is now loft apartments.

  • Tridi 23 Pluviôse an 234 de la Révolution, jour de Chiendent


    This is my 3rd or 4th shave with this brush, and they all have been rather rough. I guess I’m getting brushburn, and since it is a sythetic, this is probably not getting any better over time. Anyone of you knowing a way to soften up a synth?

    Have a good day!

    • Brush: Summer Break Soaps “Elyria” - TurnNShave v9 Tip 28mm Badger
    • Razor: Gillette Rocket HD
    • Blade: Gillette Silver Blue (15)
    • Lather: House of Mammoth - Snippid - Soap
    • Post Shave: Stirling - Cypress - Aftershave
    • Post Shave: Oleo & Co. - Facial Toner - Toner
    • Fragrance: Chiseled Face - Summer Storm - EdP

    Today’s challenge soap is House of Mammoth - Cookie. I don’t have Cookie, which sounds great, but I do have a couple tubs of House of Mammoth. This morning I picked Snippid.

    It’s a nice camphorous and green scent that worked well with Cypress and Summer Storm. I can tell that the soap isn’t doing the fragrance any favors – this is one where I may consider buying the fragrance.
