30.10.2024 - Halloweek 3: Dreams in the Witch House

  • Brush: RazoRock 400 Noir SE 24 mm
  • Razor: Leaf Thorn
  • Blade: snapped KCG
  • Lather: Southern Witchcrafts - GraveFruit II
  • Post-Shave: Southern Witchcrafts - GraveFruit II AS; Natura Siberica ASB gel

2 pass head shave. Gave my face some rest as I currently have a bit of a sore throat (yay for everyone around me being sick atm).

It’s Witchcrafts Wednesday, it’s the season of the witch - and this tub features a skull with grapefruits! What a perfect fit for today.

GF2 is one of my all-time favourites, as some of you already know. It’s firmly in my top 10 of amazing scents. It’s fresh citrus without smelling like toilet cleaner. It has an aura of sophistication, something very intriguing, almost enchanting - true to the SW name. I never had the opportunity to smell the original, but this one is bliss. This fragrance was created by Shawn Maher and it shows that he’s a very skilled perfumer. Yeah, it’s a bit better suited for the warmer seasons. But this doesn’t stop me from occasionally enjoying it even in winter!

Instead of rambling around about the concept of witches like an idiot, I’ll just leave you some music that combines the young genre of ‘Witch House’ with old folk: Untitled Burial Mix 2

  • Brush: Wald Nimbus Chryselephantine 29mm A1 Fan

  • Razor: Dovo Bismarck 6/8" Full Hollow Round Point

  • Lather: Spearhead Shaving Company - Seaforth! Black Watch - Soap

  • Toner: Thayers - Rose - Toner

  • Aftershave: Spearhead Shaving Company - Seaforth! Black Watch - Aftershave

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.

A very quick, but totally enjoyable shave today. I haven’t done a Black WatchDay in a while. I gave some thought to making it a Black WedgeDay, but I have really enjoyed this Koma nagura on Black Arkansas edge that I have on the Iron Chancellor.

First shave with Rhapsody since I received it in a trade earlier this week. Really lovely scent that I’m going to enjoy spending more time with. This was a wonderfully smooth, slick lather.

Have a great one y’all. ✌️

I love Rhapsody. Manages to be sweet and floral and rich without being heavy. Lovely really.

100%, it’s also fairly spicy to my nose.

I’m definitely glad to have some!
