Oct 22, 2024 - Tea Tuesday - Jasmine Retreat

[–] gcgallant@sub.wetshaving.social 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Great setup! Is JGT another great tea scent for shaving? Noble Otter already has TNeV; a tea scent that would be hard to top.

[–] sahenders@sub.wetshaving.social 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The two scents are very different from each other, so not really a fair comparison. JGT is a great scent on its own. That said, if I had to choose only one to keep, it would be TNeV.

[–] gcgallant@sub.wetshaving.social 2 points 1 month ago

Well, TNeV is one of the absolute greats IMO.

  • Brush: Zenith - B21 boar
  • Razor: Gilette - Super Speed black tip
  • Blade: Personna - Lab Blue (2)
  • Lather: Barrister and Mann - Roam Two

  • Frag: Barrister and Mann - Roam Two EdT

I love Roam Two. That is all.

I am very curious to try the OG Roam, but I haven't seen it pop up on the zaar yet. Anyone want to trade a smush of Two for a smush of the OG? :)

Have a great one y'all. ✌️

I killed my tub of OG Roam so can't send a smush, but I can tell you they're very different. Both are great, and I'm not sure if I have a favorite between the two of them.

Not surprised that the OG was also great. I’ve yet to meet a BaM scent that I didn’t like.

I have OG Roam in Soft Hearts. PM me (ideally on matrix) if you're still interested in a trade!

  • Brush: Dogwood Handcrafts Tabak Oridjinal, now with 28 mm Gelousy knot
  • Razor: Koraat Sparschweinchen (7/8", "Sheffield-style" full hollow, carbon steel)
  • Lather: Mäurer & Wirtz – Tabac Original
  • Post Shave: Mäurer & Wirtz – Tabac Original
  • Fragrance: Mäurer & Wirtz – Tabac Original

I love this Sparschweinchen, but today it made me really impatient about the Moarteen. Patience is difficult. 😅

[–] gcgallant@sub.wetshaving.social 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Oh! Great photo! Gave me the idea that the next sub exclusive should be a Tabac brush ( since Tabac is universally liked ;-) ), and a Tabac straight razor.

[–] djundjila@sub.wetshaving.social 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I already have plans for a Stank Shank®, of course 😅

[–] gcgallant@sub.wetshaving.social 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Of course! I should know better. Once you have the catchy name, there's nothing to stop you! :)

[–] djundjila@sub.wetshaving.social 2 points 1 month ago

You know it :)
