Scum! Tue 12 Nov 2024

  • Brush: Mühle Purist (21 mm silvertip badger, ebonite handle)
  • Razor: Mühle R41 Twist
  • Blade: Feather new Hi-Stainless
  • Lather: Schmiere Abschaum
  • Post Shave: Schmiere 1959

Abschaum has the biggest discrepancy between the fragrance and its name. This scum smells clean and fresh like laundry detergent and I love it. The splash has a grandpa-y almost medicinal fragrance. It's impossible not to enjoy this combination.

The big R41 Twist felt good, but since @[email protected] suggested I should use all three R41s, one pass each, I feel like I'm doing it wrong 😅.

Love the cover art on that soap and splash!

Then you won't be surprised to hear that I bought them just because they looked cool😅
