Sep 25, 2024 - An Inspired Shave

  • Brush: Lowborn Supply Montrose Beach 26mm Synthentic Knot
  • Razor: Karve Shaving Co. Overlander
  • Blade: Gillette 7 O’Clock Super Stainless (Green) [17]
  • Lather: Abbate y La Mantia - Koké - Soap
  • Post Shave: Abbate y La Mantia - Koké - Aftershave
  • Fragrance: Declaration Grooming/House of Mammoth - Cerberus - Eau de Parfum

Today's shave was inspired by @[email protected] . He recently combined Koké with Cerberus and the scent combination seemed intriguing. I still haven't quite nailed down the scent of Koké, but it does have a similar vibe to Cerberus.

Rating: 4/5

Wed 25 Sep 2024

  • Brush: Semogue Owner's Club (cherry wood and boar) (55)
  • Razor: Zwilling J. A. Henckels Friodur 17 (NOS, 7/8", hollow ground, stainless steel)
  • Lather: Speick – Men
  • Post Shave: Mühle – Aloe Vera
  • Fragrance: Mäurer & Wirtz – Tabac Original Craftsman

Speick Men used to be my go-to soap as a fresh wetshaver with my Merkur 34C. After falling down the artisan products rabbit hole, I sorta forgot about it, but it's really good stuff and should be used up. It even still has some of its fresh scent left! Mühle splash with both alcohol and witch hazel is similar in that it's a great product with a nice, unobtrusive fragrance.

September 25, 2024

  • Brush: Stirling 24mm Synthetic
  • Blade: allMan - 2 blade disposable (4)
  • Lather: Barrister & Mann - Roam Two - Soap
  • Post Shave: Pinaud - Clubman - Aftershave
  • Post Shave: Goodfellow & Co. - Face Lotion - Kelp & Sea Mineral

A really nice travel shave. I almost over did it with the efficient 2-blade cart, but knew when to stop.

I haven't had to spend a night away from home for work in over 2 months! It has been great, but nothing wrong with a little break from reality.

I haven't done a Black Watchday in a while. I forgot how good this trifecta is!

The after shave reminds me of a scent I know, but I cannot put my finger on it. There's not much skinfood in it, and it gives a good burn.

Have a good night!
