  • Brush: Summer Break Soaps w/Maggard 28mm Silvertip Badger
  • Razor: Chiseled Face - Legacy Raw Titanium (#69)
  • Blade: Bolzano Superinox (German) (6)
  • Lather: Barrister & Mann - Diamond - Soap
  • Post Shave: Chatillon Lux - Nefertiti - Aftershave
  • Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Mood Indigo - Balm
  • Fragrance: Barrister & Mann - Lavanille - EdP

Cold water from start to finish. I like it! Nefertiti is quite strong, so I just let it sit on my face for a count and then rinse it off.

Lather Games Eve

  • Brush: Dogwood Handcrafts Papa Eld with Declaration Grooming B3 knot
  • Razor: Zwilling J. A. Henckels 14 (8/8", extra hollow ground, carbon steel)
  • Lather: Barrister and Mann Fern
  • Aftershave: Barrister and Mann Fougère Classique
  • Fragrance: Brut Original

Last day before themed mass shavenaninans!

Great shave with the big Henckels 14. This form factor really is extraordinarily gentle.

Brut, itself not a subtle scent, had no chance aside Classique.

Fougère Classique++

Brut EdT++ that stuff is very inexpensive in the US.

Same here. I've paid it 8 francs.

My wife isn't a fan, though, so it'll be mostly for office days

My wife isn’t a fan

Wait 30 years. Then she will love the nostalgia of it :) My wife ignores most of what I use except for Old Spice and Brut. Not that she likes these, particularly.

Ok, now I'm curious to find out 😄
