Early Christmas
- Brush: Мужской Материк Orange Stabilised Burl with 28mm Oumo boar knot at 57mm loft
- Razor: Thiers Issard Le Dandy
- Lather: Stirling Soap Co Christmas Eve
- Aftershave: Southern Witchcrafts Pomona
- Fragrance: Spearhead Shaving Company Seaforth! Spiced
Christmas Eve was a PIF from u/MadDingersYo, who I haven’t seen in a year, and this is the third Christmas season I’m enjoying it already.
I’m leaning into the gourmand aspects of the soap by pairing it with Pomona’s mulled cider and Spiced’s ginger bread scent.
Spiced’s ginger bread scent
I hadn’t thought of it that way. Clearly it is time to revisit Spice.
On December 6th, kids here get a Samichlaussäckli: a jute sack with mandarins, gingerbread, and peanuts. Spiced is essentially every Swiss kid’s memory of the Christmas season minus peanuts🎅
Huh. I wondered if I would pick up gingerbread from the scent, but did not. Then again, I don’t have any tradition of gingerbread in my past.

Christmas Markets have already started here in Germany, and we’ll be visiting some soon. Vespers is one of my all time favorite scents, and I’m thankful that I could use it for the shave this morning. Such a fantastic cranberry note.
Thanks to everyone who helps run this Lemmy instance and to those that make this a great community.

A bit late posting. We’ve had a great day visiting family after a relatively easy drive. Tomorrow will be more driving and a visit with some other extended family. They’re eager to see their great-nephew.
