  • Preshave: Cold Water "* Brush: Yaqi 24mm Synthetic ““Panda”” "
  • Razor: King C. Gillette DE Razor
  • Blade: Astra Superior Platinum (15)
  • Lather: Haslinger Algae
  • Post Shave: Williams Aqua Velva
  • Post Shave: Nivea After Shave Balm

I have no axe, and so, I shaved like the loser that I am with a DE. And I forgot to post yesterday’s shave, but it was the same as today’s.

Have a good day!

It’s true that it’s difficult under the nose, and using an axe with light pressure takes some practice.

I’m not sure I’d come away from the shave with a nose left to shave under.

takes some practice.

…and an iron resolve.

Ode To Haverford

  • Brush: Dogwood Handcrafts Papa Eld with Declaration Grooming B3 knot
  • Razor: Thiers Issard Le Dandy
  • Lather: Stirling Soap Co. — Haverford
  • Aftershave: Stirling Soap Co. — Haverford balm

I had planned to use this soap in yesterday’s 10-1 landslide match, but hopped on u/Enndeegee’s Varen train. Haverford is one of the most comforting scents in my den, and even though I have the original Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille frag, I still prefer this dupe.

The TI could use a refresher round on the finishing stone. I’ll have to get on that.

  • Post Shave: Aqua Velva - Musk - After Shave Cologne
  • Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Mood Indigo - Balm
    (#MMarch24)

This little sample is the only Cbubs soap that I own which is too bad. Figured I’d use it before the March Madness showdown. Nice floral scent, and a similar lather to CFG if you ask me. I like it!
