2023.09.19 SOTD:

  • Prep: Neutrogena Hydro Boost Cleanser & Stirling Mentholated Pre-Shave Soap

  • Brush: AKA Brushworks Amethyst Watchman with 26mm AP Shave Co G5C

  • Razor: Gillette Slim Adjustable

  • Blade: Wizamet Super Iridium Extra Stainless (3)

  • Lather: Hoffman's Cookie Monster

  • Post Shave: Alum, Stirling Mentholated Unscented Witch Hazel and Aloe, House of Mammoth Rumble Aftershave Splash, Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel-Cream Extra-Dry


/u/Priusaurus kindly sent over a smush of Cookie Monster. This is my first time using Hoffman's. I'd say the quality of the lather was good, and the scent was quite nice. I got more of a hot chocolate impression than cookies, but it was still nice. I see this being a good cold weather scent.

Good shave today. 3 passes. No issues at all.
